"Good food and friendly service. Enjoy while sitting outside, listening to the, sound of the waves and a very beautiful view of the ocean. If you can, try to avoid parking in the garage as it is pretty expensive compared to the free Street parking you can find nearby."
Roshan Karki
"Food here is very good. We had the Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan and Butter Naan. Everything was great. Flavors were on point. Service was quick and the staff was very friendly too. Did we mention that with outdoor seating and facing the ocean, the views were great too. All in all a great experience!"
Navin Sadarangani
"This place was our first stop after we landed on the island. We stopped by for lunch and also ordered take out for dinner. We had the veggie appetizer plate, veggie thali and mango lassi. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the ocean views. The staff were friendly.
Parking was tricky to find. The free street parking was full and the paid garages were too expensive."
