New Indian resto that's been impossible to get a res for, by the same chef as Junoon who was also Master Chef India! Chef Vikas literally comes out and greets everyone... he was so so sweet and passionate. As for the food - it was definitely fun, creative and beautifully plated, but some of the dishes lacked a wow factor (the lamb shank was stingy on the meat and wasn't memorable; the shrimp cones that everyone raved about legit didn't taste of shrimp at all). However, the yogurt kebab (light cheese filling with a crispy fried outer shell) and lamb chops were great, as was the sheermal bread (think flat cornbread). The rose kulfi dessert was definitely skippable. The mango lassi was pretty cool as it was heavily infused with rose flavors, and the golden temple mocktail with passionfruit and mango soda was divine. All in all, it's a solid spot, but I probably won't be in a hurry to return.
