I used to be a frequent visitor earlier where Koyla's black dal and roomali roti would be the craving factor. However now with my latest visit (my last one here), i differ from my previous opinions about this place.
Ambiance used to be great here, even during the summers the ample number of fans used to make it a pleasant roof top seating. Now its an effort to request the waiters to turn the fans on. Along the same lines, service was never the +ve point about this place but now its going deep down. As i said, to get the waiters attention was a project. ICed tea served was warm so when we raised this point to our server, he amusing answered that there is enough ice in there so it will become cold in sometime! Now one would think that atleast the food would be a saving grace, but so not! The paneer tikka was pathetic, paneer was chewy. The hara bhara kabab if thrown at you would leave a scar (a little exaggerated but the kabab was really hard). Our main course order was paneer makhani and black dal. while the former was overly sweet, the latter was decent but def not upto the mark. Roomali roti was cold and disappointing. 1600 for 5 - Damage.
It was a saturday night and the place was quite empty (very unlike the previous times). I think this restaurant is no more the star it used to be...I am glad i can scratch this off my fav restaurant lists with ease.
