| Hakuna Matata - Resto bar |
We were 6 people and it was get together of colleagues after a long time. We decided to meet at this place around 6pm. I called up the restaurant for booking, they told us we could walk in. All of us reached by 6:15pm, we were offered a table in the first floor terrace area. People had just started coming in. Found the place to be pretty huge, I guess it could seat about 500+ people at a time, it has ample parking area for two wheeler and cars as well.

Now let me talk about whole experience right from ordering to till the time we left.
Drinks (4/5)
We started by ordering mocktails, cocktails and starters, cocktails was prepared well. We ordered Singapore Sling,Tequila Sunrise, Pinacolada, Mojito, Margarita, Budweiser beer
Starters - 4/5
For the starters we ordered Prawn ghee roast, Tangdi Kabab, Chicken Tikka, Lat-Mei Kai, Veg kabab platter, Paneer Manchurian, Gobi Manchurian, Masala papad, groundnut masala. Starters was very tasty, we ordered some of them based on the service team recommendation. Some of them had enough quantity, while some of them quantity was very less. I liked Prawn ghee roast but the quantity was less, Lat-Mei Kai, one the Chinese starters was very tasty and had enough quantity. Quantity of chicken tikka was less while rest of them was good.
Main course - 4/5
We then started ordering our main course like 1 hour later into our get-together. By now we were almost full. We ordered 4 Garlic Naan, 2 Tandoori Roti, Dal Fry, Kolapuri Veg Masala, Jeera Rice. I liked the Garlic Naan, one of the best naans and Jeera rice was our favorite with Dal Fry
Desserts - 3.5/5
For the Desserts we ordered Deep Fried ice cream, Buttermilk, Kulfi. Deep Fried ice cream had a very thin layer of fried bread crumbs, it had vanilla ice cream.
Overall drinks and food was satisfactory experience...
Service experience Now talking about service, service was pretty good, our orders came pretty and think, the service team served us well. They have enough people on the service team to take care of your orders, serving, clearing up your table.
Ambience The resto-bar is massive, they seem to cater to all kinds of settings, there is open terrace area with candle-lit dinner tables, ground floor covered area, terrace area. Music was not great, wish they could good get some good collection of music. They could add live music and DG could make it much more happening, TVs were missing as well
Value for money Found this place to be little on the costlier side, sometimes there was enough quantity and price was justified but some items quantity was less and not enough for the price like chicken tikka had only 4 pieces. Jeera rice was enough.
Overall it is very good place, recommend this place to hang out with friends, colleagues and family. Nice food with wide variety on their menu, bar menu is good.
