Insider Tips
- They also host a more than competent buffet through the week, with a (surprisingly) larger variety of vegetarian items
- Desserts carry a lovely little troika of desi halwas with gajar (carrot), doodhi (bottle gourd) and moong dal (split green gram) – all rich and ghee-soaked
- With WiFi available, a working meal here could mean the light carrot-ginger-cheese soup, with jalapeno, leek and tomato bruschettas or German bacon potato salad
