Frequently Asked Questions

What type of seating is available?

Guests can choose between standard dining chairs and traditional raised platform seating (takht or Majli style) where you sit floor-style on carpeted platforms.

How large are the portion sizes and platters?

Portions are known to be substantial and shareable. Platters designed for two or four people frequently provide more than enough food to feed larger groups or yield leftovers to take home.

Do the meat platters come with dips or side accompaniments?

Grilled platters do not automatically include side dips, raita, or chutneys; accompaniments such as dips must be purchased separately.

Are there vegetarian options on the menu?

While the menu primarily highlights grilled meats, vegetarian choices are limited, though diners note eggplant dishes and lentil soup as satisfying meat-free options.
