This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!. I stayed in this hotel for the second time and it was a great experience. The hotel is very well managed and the staff and the management is tremendous at their jobs. They assist you with every little thing and it was great when it comes to service here. The other luxurious amenities are top notch and I highly recommend this place to everybody who is looking for a great stay option.
