Hype, hype, all hype.
This brand has been there since donkey's years, has fallen prey horribly to commercialisation and its self propelled imagery.
You have a fancy restaurant akin to fine dining here, and just a few steps away, you have the namesake's takeaway counter. This take away joint however even allows you to have a seating place inside an almost falling apart ground floor structure across. White plaster on the wall, unkempt tables arranged in a row and zero ambiance.
The food is prepared right on the street in not so very hygienic conditions. You would've imagined that given the brand, there would be at least some semblance of cleanliness. Wannabe modernists come about in swanky automobiles to have food here just to update their Facebook profiles.

We call for a Chicken Bhuna (INR 150) and Roomali rotis (INR 25). The chicken was good to taste, with rich spices and soft diced chicken. The first bite had a garlic twang to it and I was delighted. However, I could not but air two main grouses: The oil component could've been reduced by at least 50% and the overall quantity of the fare should be increased by at least 50 %. The rotis were good and well sized. The accompanying salad and chutney went along very well with the overall food. |

Verdict: At best, this joint has average food and zero service. There is almost a mechanical air about the employees where the servers are seen running around to attend to the sea of customers.
