  Ambience – 4/5 Food – 4/5 Service – 3/5 VFM – 4/5 Parking – Yes, ValetWe visited this place on a Saturday afternoon and were taken aback by the crowd, mostly comprising of college students. Surely its a popular place. And we soon realized the reason – cool ambience, great cocktails and some unique dishes. Decor was good and they were live screening a cricket match.The staff were friendly and ushered us to a table. We began with a round of drinks – Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Kala Khatta Ice Gola and Long Island Ice Tea. A special shout-out for this one, popularly called LIIT, was really the stand-out beverage. The Kala Khatta ice gola was a replica of the beverage Delhi style, but was a bit too dilute for my liking. We also ordered a Virgin Mojito, very refreshing with a strong sweet-bitter lemony taste, really good.And I must mention the Masala Peanuts served with the drinks is a must if you visit this place.For starters, we had the Flying Gobi, a vegetarian take on Chicken Wings, with Gobi replacing the meat. The glazing was with a honey-based sauce, giving it a little sweetness. Next up was Onion Rings. Loved the way it was served, though the dish itself was a tad too oily. None-the-less, quite tasty. Next up was Ghee Roast Fries. We were a bit perplexed when it was served as the fries were soggy. But the manager then clarified that the fries are sauteed in ghee and masala, which makes them soft. The final starter was a twist on Golgappa, served with Paneer masala and Makhni shots. A different dish, to say the least. They also serve a Butter Chicken version of the same.We ordered two soups – Cream of Mushroom and Brocolli soup. Loved the mushroom soup – very creamy, with lots of small bits of mushroom, really made my day. The broccoli soup, though good, didn’t live up the standards set by the previous one!For mains, we tried a very unique dish – Bunny Chow. Its a hollowed out loaf of bread, filled with Thai Massamman curry, served with a side of sago chips. Very unique dish, apparently popular amongst Indians in South Africa. Loved the curry, was perfect, with flavours of coconut milk and bamboo shoots perfectly complementing the assorted veggies. A must-try if you’re anywhere nearby.We also ordered the Farmhouse Pizza and Paneer Biryani. The pizza was okay, with the thin crust a bit too thin for my liking and the topping quite scarce. I’d give this one a miss. The Paneer Biryani was very good, with long and mildly flavoured rice. Kudos for this.We were quite full by then, but still tried out their signature dessert – Better Than Sex. Must say the dish lived up to the bold title! Flourless, rich chocolate cake topped with a cherry. Sinful and delicious! The MashmHello is a chocolate brownie with marshmallow filling, not to my taste, but if you like marshmallows, its worth a try.Service was very slow, thats a place they can improve upon. Also, the staff were struggling to explain the cocktails to us. But overall, its a nice place to chill out with a gang of friends.

  So was here for lunch. Pretty small ambiance for a pub, but well decorated. They have a small bar also, and a very narrow outdoor smoking zone. Most of the crowds were young, and it was little noisy at the time we visited.We started with some mocktails and cocktails. The best among all was the LIIT. The kala khatta was something different, served with an icegola. These went well with the peanut masalaThe mushroom soups was ok, the white sauced soup, with pieces of mushroom in it. The coastal soup was not at all good. The same white sauce and few shrimps in it.The onion ring starter was great. Just the type of snacks you would want to binge upon. The ghee roast fries and flying gobi was ok, could have been little more crispy and soft from inside.The fish on sticks was actually good. It was soft and melted in the mouth. The buffalo wings was not tender, and it was too sweet because of the excessive sauce that they put. The nati beef was great and the chicken lollipop was good too.The pani puri shots, veg and butter chicken panipuris looked fancy, and it tasted ok. But i guess, would have been better if they could spiced it up.The mushroom and bbq chicken pizza were great. The bunny chow was something new that i tried. Served inside a bread, with some thai curry, along with the sauce, it was excellent.The biryanis, chicken and panner, were good enough. The rice had a good flavour, with a perfect blend of spices.The desserts were the best. We tried sizzling brownie and icecream, and marshmallow. Both the desserts are highly recommended.My ratings: food 3.5/5Ambiance: 3.5/5Service: 4.5/5

  Went here on a weekday afternoon. The food is nice especially the Mexican fries. Pasta was amazing too. A good range of cocktails. My favourite were LIIT and the sex on the beach! Even gin and tonic was pretty good.Staff is very polite and helpful. Music here is upbeat and not too loud( of course weekday)Had a good time!

  It’s located near Joseph’s and is one of their more famous hang-out spots and rightfully so with their strong cocktails and delicious pizzas and a casual Ambience to go alongwith.

  We’d ordered quite a lot, and every thing tasted really good, except, the garlic bread. Absolutely didn’t stand to our expectations, but everything else was delicious!
