Real notes from tourists passing through and regulars who stop by every week.
"Stopped in after a day at HPCA Stadium with our whole travel group — they sat all 14 of us without any fuss. The chana samosa chaat disappeared in minutes."
"Easily one of the most spacious places near Jawahar Nagar. Good for a quick solo lunch or a big family get-together, and the staff never rush you."
"Location right by Police Ground makes it super easy to find. The thukpa was hot and comforting after a cold evening walk — simple, honest food."
