Was able to book a table for 2 only 2 weeks ago. Someone must have cancelled. Service was normal for a 5-star hotel. Seating is a bit basic. Most importantly, food was not what I expected given so much hype about this restaurant. I’d rather eat at another smaller, lesser known Indian restaurant. Papadum - Papadum is an easy item and is always good. I’ve never had bad papadum. So this is an easy pass. Chutney on the side is correctly sweet, spicy, and tangy. Baked samosa - The presentation is the

Baked samosa - The presentation is the main thing here. The texture is nice. Crispy on the outside. Moist and tender inside. But the flavour tastes like overcooked stew. Therefore not a fan. The raita needs a little more acidity and freshness.

Paneer tikka - A nice charred flavour. Some say the paneer is house-made. It’s a little too crumbly to my liking. And it’s not as smooth and creamy as fresh paneer should be. The apple puree filling is a nice touch. The tomato sauce that comes with it does not match well in bringing out the flavour of the dish. It feels like they just threw in something here, as it’s the same sauce they serve with the other dish.

Tandoori octopus - This is a nice one. The octopus is tender and juicy. The spice and smoky flavour is good. The same tomato sauce served here is a nice compliment.

Malabar fish curry - The fish is okay, but the sauce is not. It lacks the characters of an Indian curry. The flavour is very banal. And it tastes like it was made 5 days ago. I usually eat up all the curry/masala even if I don’t have any more bread on hand, but this time I didn’t. They need to cut down on the salt, and make better use of spices instead.

Garlic naan - The naan here is very thin and light. It’s good if you don’t like bready naan. The garlic flavour is not very pronounced. In fact, I have forgotten that I ordered garlic naan until I’m writing this review.

Mango lassi & coconut lasssi - The coconut is a little better than mango. But both taste like ordinary smoothies. I don’t know why they are so stingy on spices. In my opinion, mango lassi needs to have the sweet, herbal, aromatic green cardamom flavour.
Chai masala

Chai masala - Way too sweet to my taste. And the cinnamon here is overpowering all the other spices. And it was pulled only once into the glass in front of you. How do you expect the guest to hold the thin glass when the chai is still so hot? This one is a total failure.

Pistachio kulfi - Pistachio flavour is very rich. The kulfi is creamy and smooth. Though I can do without the seviyan underneath. This is probably the most enjoyable part of the meal. As I’m pretty sure I will not buy kulfi on the streets in India because of hygienic concerns, this is the place to have it.

Khubani ka meetha - This tastes more like a western dessert than an Indian one to me. If you like dried apricots and crumble, then you’ll love it.
Overall, most dishes are good food, but not good Indian food. It just doesn’t give the palate that Indian street food flavour. They need to make better use of the different Indian spices and fresh herbs to make it authentic. What you have now is dull food made only to look good in photos. Even if you want to present with a modern twist, the food still needs to taste good.
