The green apple lemonade and nachos were solid picks. Red pasta leaned a bit salty though. Chill spot to hang with friends, nothing too fancy.

Went here for Sunday brunch with my friends and honestly the live counters are the best part. The grill and wok stations were so good, and the papaya salad had that perfect tangy kick. We sat outside near the waterfall, which made everything feel way more chill. Just wish the service was a bit quicker, but we were too busy chatting to care 😄

The live band on Saturday night was loud but fun&mdash;good energy. Cocktails were solid, especially the old fashioned. Place gets packed though, so I&#39;d stick to weekdays if you want to actually talk. Maybe not the smoothest service when it&#39;s busy, but the vibe made up for it.

The private cage seating is quite nice if you want some quiet. Cover charge felt a little high at first, but then we found out it adjusts against the bill, so that worked out fine. Service was friendly enough, and I didn&#39;t have to ask for anything twice. Comfortable spot to just sit and eat without any hassle.

The food was decent and prices felt fair for what you get. Staff tried to be helpful, though we did have one mix-up with our order. What stood out to me most was the seating area&mdash;it&rsquo;s comfortable enough, but the lack of proper cooling made it a bit stuffy on a warm evening. Would&rsquo;ve liked a bit more airflow while eating.

The chicken Chettinad here was proper spicy, just how I like it. Coconut pudding for dessert is a must. Ambience is really nice too, feels authentically South Indian.

Went with my team for dinner and honestly the kebabs were the highlight&mdash;juicy, smoky, really well done. Rooftop seating gives a nice vibe too. Drinks were okay, nothing crazy. Only thing is it gets pretty loud outside with the music, so we had to lean in to talk. Still, good spot for a casual night out.

The starters and desserts were really good, especially the live grill counter. That part was fun to watch. Main course felt a bit average though, could be better. But for the price, it was a decent buffet. Staff let us sit longer without rushing us, which I appreciated. Would come back for the starters alone.

The hot chocolate and chocolate shake are the real deal here. Had the chutney sandwich too, it was okay, nothing special. Place has that old Pune vibe, nice to sit and watch people. Just don&#39;t come expecting fancy food. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re nearby.

The butter chicken here is what keeps me coming back. Rich, creamy, just the right amount of spice. Had it with garlic naan, tore through it in minutes. Portion size is decent for the price. Didn&#39;t pay much attention to the decor or anything else, honestly. Just focused on the food.

The sabudana vada was good, misal pav needed more heat though. Ask for extra spice if you like it hot. Green chilli dosa had a nice podi kick. Kothimbir wadi was okay, nothing crazy.

Stopped by for a quick bite before heading back. Got the paneer tikka and garlic naan. Food was solid, came out fast enough. Place has karaoke going on, so it&#39;s a bit loud if you&#39;re just trying to eat and leave. But the vibe is decent. Fine for a casual hangout, not really a quiet dinner spot.

The dining hall is massive, like stepping into another era. We grabbed a table right away, which surprised me given the size of the place. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the vibe made up for it. Service was quick too, our order came out before we even settled in properly. If you want a meal with some old-school character, this works.

Went for the Punjabi food festival last week. Makki di roti with sarson da saag was the real deal&mdash;earthy, fresh, not too oily. The lassi was thick and creamy, balanced the spice well. Gajar ka halwa was decent, though slightly sweeter than I&#39;d like. Portions felt right for the price. Would go back for that saag again.

Stopped by for a late breakfast on a weekday. The sourdough pizza was pretty good, crust had a nice chew. Breakfast platter was decent too, filling without being heavy. Place was quiet, which I appreciated. Service was fine, nothing rushed. Maybe a bit slow on the coffee refill, but not a big deal. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area.

Been coming here for a while now and the buffet stays consistent. Lots of veg options, starters and desserts always solid. Moong daal halwa is still my favourite thing on the menu. Service can get a bit slow when it&#39;s packed, but the food keeps me coming back.

The breakfast buffet here is decent. They have a live dosa and paratha counter outside, which is the main draw. Tea station was a nice touch as well. Pretty good spread for the price, though it does get a bit crowded if you go late. Fine for a relaxed morning meal.

The high tea spread was so well put together &mdash; loved the mix of savoury and sweet. Sat in the library corner with a book and honestly didn&rsquo;t want to leave.

Been going here for years and it still hits the same. Got the Chicken Shashlik sizzler and honestly the smoky sauce is just as good as I remember. Portion size is massive, could easily share. Only thing is the seating feels a bit cramped, but the staff were polite and let us take our time. Fine for a casual meal.

Buffet spread was decent but the live tandoori counter made it worth it. Just expect a wait at peak hours.

Parking was easy, place is right off the main road. Seats are pretty roomy, not cramped like some spots. Bathrooms were clean too, which is always a plus. Food was alright, nothing that blew my mind but it did the job. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t wanna overthink where to eat.

Pav bhaji here is solid, and the lime soda hits the spot. Prices are fair, nothing crazy. Service was quick too, which I appreciate. Place is simple, nothing fancy, but it works for a quick veg meal. I&#39;ve been here a few times now, and it stays consistent. Just wish they had a bit more seating, gets crowded sometimes.

The non-veg set menu was quite good. Dal was so smooth, and the galouti kebabs just melted. I kept thinking about the texture of that dal afterwards. Ambience is nice too, but honestly I was there for the food. Maybe slightly pricey for the portion size, but the quality of ingredients felt fresh. Would go back for those kebabs again.

Visited for the weekend brunch last Sunday. The buffet spread is quite decent, good mix of veg and non-veg. Starters had more variety than usual. Desserts were the best part, especially the gulab jamun. Service was attentive, staff kept clearing plates quickly. Only thing is it&#39;s a bit pricey for what you get, but okay for a treat.

The terrace seating is lovely, and the margaritas hit the spot. Paneer taco was good, churros were solid too. Just wish the prawn taco had more kick.

Nice spot for a relaxed evening. The vibe is warm, though it gets a bit loud when packed. Parking&#39;s a hassle, so we just cabbed it. Their Old Fashioned paired surprisingly well with the grilled chicken.

Grilled stuff is solid, no doubt. Had the chicken tikka and it was properly charred, juicy inside. Only thing that bugs me is the napkin thing&mdash;you gotta ask twice to get a fresh one. Service is hit or miss but honestly the flavour pulls me back every time. Quick bite, decent price, done in 20 mins. That works for me.

The Al Fahm was solid. Chicken came out tender, soaked in those spices. Garlic sauce on the side did the job. Got my order quick, no waiting around. Place was busy but I was in and out. Good spot if you need a fast bite and don&#39;t wanna fuss.
