Looking at the thali pic literally waters my mouth as the soul satisfying taste still lingers :-) One of the most delicious curries I have ever tried...Paneer from kadai paneer just melted in my mouth and the Saag Mangolia(green curry in thali) felt sooo subtle as if it had more soul than physical! Veg pulao is something that deserves special mention...every grain of cooked rice was flavoured with utmost attention and detail! I can go on for almost every item in the thali :-) Three course meal served in the format of Thali - ALL UNLIMITED so you can choose where you want to indulge more. Thali combines the flavours from different states of India - Maharashtra (masala matki, Shrikhand etc.), Rajasthani (Dal bati churama, kadi), Gujarati (dhokala etc.), Punjabi (Kadai paneer, saag etc.) There is a separate dessert room but I had no room left in my tummy by that time...though couldn’t resist my favourite Shrikhand which tasted like home made! About the service - I felt the service was bit slow noting that staff would generally wait after serving starters as it’s a 3 course meal. I had to ask them to serve all 3 courses together however still felt service was slow as some of the guests had to wait. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. Having said that, staff is very friendly and the head chef Mr. Buralal made sure to give us a visit and was happy to pose for some pictures with the Family. Also gave me some tips on how to make yummy Shrikhand :-) We were celebrating my Sons 6th bday and overall it was a great experience! Definitely worth the price! If you live to eat and are vegetarian then you must visit this place at least once!
