    Horrible appetizers and dessert - Burrata cheese didn’t go well with Indian chutney flavors, Dhokla Chutney very salty and with too strong flavor of spices. The idea of shrikhand in pani-puri puri’s was very bad, didn’t expect this from Sanjeev Kapoor’s restaurant.

    We expected a lot during our first visit on Mothers Day, but disappointed for reasons - food was so-so, below average, service was bad - no staff member greeted with Mothers Day wishes, let alone a small token gift to celebrate. Location & ambience were the only positive points.

    Everything we had was very good. The food and drinks were all unique. The only thing we did not care for was the vegan almond kheer. But the server was kind enough to take it off out bill when we brought it to his attention. All else was top notch - taste and presentation.

    The food and ambience were outstanding - everything was very tasty and they were very kind to our party of 8 (two families with a bunch of kids) - the presentation is also top notch and the table service is really good - many staff, all well spoken, attentive and careful The only thing I'll point out is that when families with kids ask for something to be made less spicy - please have better answers than: "oh the spice is already there", "we can't make much change", etc - instead do better and see how you can provide an alternative or a less spicy variant - this is a fancy restaurant - we expect the chefs/kitchen to be flexible - we're not asking for custom made to order off menu items - we're just asking for simple moderation/modifications to existing menu items that honestly other restaurants have zero issue with

    Great food and service. The food had creative touch and did not sacrifice the taste. Glad that it was not too much fusion!

    The server at our table was very very nice. She was friendly and did a good job explaining everything. Food was also good quality and tasty. I would have preferred more flavorful, but not more garlicky. Actually, that is what I liked that the vegetarian food was not overly garlicky.
