   We have been to their sister restaurant Manthan and absolutely loved it, so we really went in a great expectation and it absolutely lived to the expectation of not more. Flavours are unbelievably authentic and takes your down the memory lane. Portions are great and price is perfect. The staffs were really friendly and it felt like having a nice meal in a traditional Goan home.

   The servers hover too much and are to quick to push you to order your food. Constantly interrupting conversations to ask us to order. Think this is a one and done restaurant. Food was lovely but nothing like my experience at Kutir.

    Top class Indian Dining experience. Quality of the food was exceptional, as was the service. Pick from the house signature dishes - you won't be disappointed. The selection of dishes and the fantastic combination of flavours were something quite unique in this style of cooking.
