This beautiful restaurant has opened in one of the most sought-after spot in the city that’s the Delhi’s Dhan Mill Compound, one of the hottest spot these days.

From the Dabeli to keema pao to the Bombay fish and chips or British Wigg inspired Bun Maska Trio or the Avo egg hopper and Akoori to the Baida Roti or even the three Vada Pops a assorted snack plate made with Sabudana, batata to Kothimbir each is a stellar, but to miss that the Avo egg hopper is everything but ordinary with that smashed avocado and poached eggs on top and the spicy peanut chutney does the magic.
Talking of beverages the highly recommended ones are the Bombay Raspberry Soda, Kokum Cooler And The Passio Fruit Kafir Mojito Popcorn Lemonade, Green Chilli Banta and Kokum Mary pairs perfect with any plate but their Cutting chai is tops the list paired with the not so simple Malai Cheeni Toast which is bruléed tutti-fruity brioche with delicious homemade clotted cream and seasonal fruit.
