For the Mains I must compliment that rather than confusing their patrons with 70-80 dishes the buffet was brief yet excitingly delicious. The dishes were rich in flavors and nutrient’s still it will make you feel light and you will not be guilty if you end up over eating.

For mains I strongly recommend their chakundar paneer which is one of the finest paneer dish I have tasted in a while , It had a great variety of spices and dish was very really photogenic and well presented. Other than that main highlight still remains the shahi subz korma, kaju kumbh ki biryani and again a brilliant masterpiece by the gem himself known as Izzat ki Roti.
