I went there with my family and I really enjoyed the ambience. We ordered pizza and was very tasty..Did not expect this from a local restaurant, also I met with shivam there, he was singing some very beautiful songs, by seeing that I asked him if he could sing a particular song(don’t remember which song it was my wife’s request) he agreed, undoubtedly it was an awesome experience👍
