It's a very fun place, you can go there with your partner, friends, college group and have a lot of fun, you can get all kinds of food there, I found the mexican pizza there to be very good, great songs played by the young generation. Yes, compared to other cafes, I found the prices higher in some varieties, but you also get food within your budget, you can explore different food here once in 1-2 months, I really enjoyed it.

Visited this place a while ago,Believe me they are following all hygiene protocols. From temperature check to full body sanitation. Seating area well sanitized before use. Plates are wrapped in plastic cover.They have an amazing ambiance with 2 level sittings.The place is quite good and spacious .Coming to food they have bunch of varieties to offer. Unique drinks you should definitely try. I have tried Cinderella , Sangria, Watermelon breeze.

Really tasty food! The pink sauce pasta (ristretto pasta) and fusion global platter was the best! The tandoori momos should be avoided if you're used to Delhi-style momos. The Mexican pizza was also really good, but I feel not everyone would like it due to different taste preferences. The mocktails were fine as well.

Absolutely amazing experience. True and authentic Italian dishes. We tried 9 dishes in all...and all were prepared with perfection. Our personal favourites were Ristretto Baked Lasagna, Cheese Garlic tapas, Ristretto Pasta, Sizzling brownie.... brilliant staff and cozy set up. thoroughly enjoyed the outing...Must visit. Just one feedback....some of the dishes like pasta and spaghetti, the portion size was pretty small, that can be and must be increased.....

I can say that this place now becomes one of my favorite, not only because of their unique jail concept theme but also their services, specifically how their staff greets and their pretty smile. Yes, the food is really good in quality and quantity. For me the best part is Jain food is available in really good taste. And the deserts are also here. I am just in love with their bread. Usually i eat bread because of pasta but now i will like to go here again to eat pasta because their so so so soft bread. Their mocktails are just "lajawab." Their different different platters are also good. The way of servings is pretty cool. Furthermore the swing and scooter in the entrance is good for pictures with your friends. They provide really different kind of sitting, which is pretty cool. Take your time and add this place in your must visit place.
