Food Promotions verdict?Environment: 9/10Beautifully decorated with India theme use of painting, carving, well arrange table setting and etc.
Food Presentation: 5/10Based on my order, the presentation is pretty simple.
Portion: 4/10The portion is small, especially the fish in the Set Lunch.
Taste: 6/10I like the tandoori chicken the most. Others, is just ordinary.
Service: 3/10The waiters kept pushing us to order causing reverse effect. It would be better to recommend the best seller, to make the customers feel like wanting to try out more.
Value for money: 5/10For current promotion, there is slight reduction of price and a complimentary drink.
OVERALLI would recommend to try out the ala carte rather then the set meal.
