Drinks

              Tried the Tamer Hindi like a tamarind martini :)... if i recall the name... both the virgin and the spiked were excellent. if you like tangy ask for more tamarind juice in that.

Definitely worth going !! Overall food was great and we had a very good time with the four friends. They are very accomodating to requests if you like to customize unless prepared...

If google is any good then :) bil-hanā' wa ash-shifā !!! N-joy
