Insider Tips
- The restaurant offers excellent lunch and dinner buffets featuring soup, starters, main course, rice and dessert. The menu is revised regularly
- The food may be rich and filling but save room for dessert, for they are prepared with painstaking precision – the 'Shahi Tukda' was perfectly crunchy and complemented beautifully by milky rabri, and the 'Gulab jamuns' were spongy little orbs of deliciousness
- As the rustle of green leaves and a fountain’s susurration lull you into a state of calm, tuck into a plate of 'Prawn Kurkure' that come coated with crispy fried 'Poha' or 'Bombil Koliwada' (which are deep-fried cupid-shaped portions of Bombay duck) – scrumptious!
