It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.. We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.. Went to this famous restaurant and ordered the special. The food was tasteful and delicious. The preparation was exotic and well put together. The flavors were just amazing and the wine selection was great. Loved it here.
