I called for a Fish Tikka Masala (INR 250), an Aloo Paratha (INR 50) and a Garlic Kulchha (INR 30).
The fish was a large bowlful of soft tender boiled fish cubes in thick masala gravy. Rich in spices, rightly salted and peppered and ample quantity of fish. The only grouse was that the oil quotient was way too high. I dislike the sight of a thick layer of oil sitting atop my food, as if challenging me in a squeaky voice "Eat me."

The Aloo Paratha was a disappointment. It was not at all a stuffing of rich potato mashup with onion and green chillies and green peas and coriander leaves. It was a plain jane masala dosa bhaaji, yellowed mashed potato without adequate spicing and quite bland.
The Garlic Kulchha was decent, with rich crumbs of garlic sprinkled on the leavened dough. Worth the price.
When the tab arrived, it had a 4.95% Service Tax and a measly 3 % Service Charge added to it. Why add a 3 % at all, I would willingly pay more than that.
The verdict: Just about decent.
The ratings, they go like this:
The Food Quotient : Food Quality 3.5 / 5, Food Choices 3.5 / 5, Food Portion 3.5 / 5, Food Presentation : 3 / 5
The Other Determinants : Location 3.5 / 5, Cleanliness 3.5 / 5, Warmth 4 / 5
The Hygiene Factors : Ambiance 3 / 5, Space quotient 3.5 / 5, Delivery time 3 / 5
The Conclusives : Food Price 2.5 / 5, Honesty 3 / 5, Overall Experience 3.5 / 5, Will I call again 3 / 5
