As such we only ate various snacks alongside drinks such as cold coffee & ice cream, lime soda and masala chai. The food was good, however, and where appropriate we were asked what level of spicyness we liked. Situated... More

Very disappointing after good review in rough guide. Host was very abrupt when we initially sat down and was upset when we asked for more time to read menu. We were the only people in the restaurant and felt too uncomfortable to stay. More
