Ambience: This roadside eatery is a take-away joint and hence, the interiors are very basic. It's an open place with marble tables and benches, a counter and a kitchen. Orders have to be placed at the counter.

We tried: For starters, we ordered a Chicken Tangdi Box (Rs 75), which was served within ten minutes. It consisted of two medium-sized well-cooked pieces of Tangdi Chicken with a salad in a box.

For the main course, we ordered a Veg Combo Manchurian (Rs 99) and Mutton Biryani (Rs 99). The Manchurian Box included Veg Fried Rice, Veg Manchurian, Spring Rolls and Pocket Maaza. The Spring Rolls, though well-fried, were tasteless. The Fried Rice was simple and tasty. By far, the Manchurian was the best of the lot.

The Mutton Biryani was decent. Though, it was mentioned on the menu card that it would be served with salad and raita, both were missing. We had to ask the attendant for it. If you do not wish to visit the place, you can also check out their website and order on the phone or online.

Service: As we entered, the attendants were more interested in talking to each other rather than attending to us. No menu card was offered and nor was water served. You have to ask for everything here.

At: Model Colony, off Senapati Bapat Road, near Axis Bank.
