What to try here? Well, their parathas are simply mind-blowing. The Amritsari Paratha (₹130), the Alu Paratha (₹130) or the Italian Paratha. We loved them all! Served with a side of dal makhani, and raita, these parathas are rich with butter. We also tried their Kheema Pav (₹165). Crispy butter pav is served with spicy minced mutton. If you’re going for the new age menu, try out their nachos, waffles, and more.
And you simply cannot miss on their Kadak Chai (₹24). Among beverages, go for their Sulemani Chai (₹24) if you’d like something different or go new age with Beer Bottle Chaas (₹55) which is just regular buttermilk served in a beer bottle to up the quirk factor.
And for desserts, I recommend the famous seven-layer chocolate cake called the Chocolate Vertigo (₹130). I dare you to finish this by yourself! Pair it with the equally famous Irish coffee (₹140) and you’re good to go. And the best part? You don’t have to break your bank. And the even better part? Hanging out with Bollywood stars!
