“Because I was quite hungry, I ended up ordering the vegetarian thali and to my surprise the quantity was so good!

My favourite was the Paneer curry which was so flavourful and perfectly spiced. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
