I had the Coco Lamb for lunch, chef special. Generous portion, perfectly spiced at 4. Tables with white cloth. Lovely dinning room. Service was top! Street or park next door at hotel. Definitely on my fav list!

I celebrated my birthday here a couple days ago. I chose the shahi lamb. It was divine. Very creamy and loved the nuts and raisins. It added crunch to it.
