The waiters are too arrogant to clear your table, they must wait for a more junior person to do so.. 45 minutes for a main course!? More

“Not impressed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2012

Visited this restaurent - based on info from tripadvisor and at the time being voted as one of the best reatuarants in Dubai. This has nothing to do with the retaurant - but after being in dubai for 4 days and a lot of taxi driving this was the last thing I needed. Aprox 30 min in taxi from our... More

We were itching to revisit this restaurant after a first visit last year. When we did last month we were not disappointed. The service from our waiter (ben) was impeccable and he even remembered our first visit. The food was wonderful and the wine was properly chilled. The ambience and decor are lovely and the entire experience was great. Recommend... More

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012

After hearing several good reviews we decided to try out this Indian restaurant. Lovely setting and fabulous decor, however, there seemed to be far too many staff trying to look busy. The restaurant was not busy, so we imagine the managers are trying hard to keep the staff motivated and busy. There was a steady stream of staff passing by... More
