Another restaurant from the BJN Group..Lives up to the mark. Setting, interior decor is awesome, on the lines of Aromas of China and service pretty attentive.
Situated at Vile Parle west right above McDonands on the 1st and 2nd floor.
Have been there around thrice between the last couple of months and am glad to say that 3 out of 4 times the experience was great..
Only the afternoon buffet was not impressive on a saturday - the starters were cold and the food average & quite greasy...Also, I had taken some business associates for the lunch buffet - but the restaurant was filled with the kitty party crowd in the afternoon - too noisy and crowded...
Othewise the a-la-carte menu is awesome - not too many varieties in starters for non-veg. but great food..
One of the mutton items Lawrence road ke tikke or something like that awesome! So was the the chilly roti - (mildly spicy)...
The chicken tikkas & kebabs were good too (a trifle too oily though).
The biryani is great and the desserts quite good too..
Pricing - not too steep - and portions are generous -- They serve alcohol too. A meal for 8 of us with 1 drink each set us back by around Rs. 4500/-
All in all a great experience. Be fore-warned, they do not take reservations and people literally are queueing outside the door for a table..
Strategically, as there are no great restaurants in Vile Parle West and we have a richie -rich Gujrati community there - the most difficult part is getting a table there!
