During our visit, we sampled a variety of kababs and drinks, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The Chicken Kofta was flavourful and perfectly cooked, while the Chicken Tikka had a nice taste, though it leaned slightly on the salty side. The Beef Tikka stood out for its tenderness and rich flavour, and the Beef Kofta was easily our favourite—juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The Lamb Tikka offered a bold, savoury profile, just a touch saltier than expected but still enjoyable. To finish, the Mango Lassi had a lovely, refreshing flavour, though the texture was slightly thicker than we’re used to.
Be sure to try the BBQ platter with naan or rice—it’s a local favourite. With plenty of options available, everyone can find something delicious. For a sweet ending, make sure to try sheer yakh and firnee.
