Ambiance is out of world. Food is just ok. Salads and desserts are good. Service is very very ordinary as you would expect at a reputable hotel. But waiters are ill mannered.

Cleanliness at its peak at one of the prime locations of the capital city. Variety is highly appreciated but more BBQ options on daily meal to be added.

Changing my rating from three stars to five stars. I went for Sunday Brunch and the menu was amazing. They had sushi, lobster bisque, tomyum soup, waffles, chocolate fountain, chicken handi, halwa puri, biryani, gol gappa, white sauce pasta (which was absolutely perfect). The staff was very friendly, professional and the service was quick. My favourite was the tiramisu dessert. They also had a table which I imagine was targeted for kids. It had popcorn, cheese sandwiches, spiral chips and chicken nuggets. Definitely the place to go if you want to do something special
