Our verdict – If you are fond of steaks, this is close to what you would be served in the US – cooked the way you prefer. The options are varied to ensure you come here for more. Try the ‘Sea bass steak’ that is the favorite with steak lovers across the world. Caper and thyme steak brings out flavors of roasted capers and thyme sprigs and offers a generous 120gm of protein. A spicy option is the Fusion flame tenderloin with paprika, ginger garlic and pepper, grilled to perfection. Go for the unique dishes in the main course such as Gulab ki patti ka gosht which is succulent lamb cooked with roasted rose petals, saffron sprigs and nutmeg. Vegetarian options are few and nice like the Achaari tandoori gobi and Okraini gobi masala which has vegetable dumplings cooked in poppy seed and roasted cashew sauce with garam masala. Ignore the ambience as the food makes up for it. Service is fine. Parking space is available.
