    Food was extremely dry; patties overcooked, buns hard; too much dessert instead of focusing on the actual food. Service was terrible: first we were told to request canapes from waiters as the Sip&Paint event was happening (we were served potato samoosa only) and told another serving that is meaty will come; however when we asked the waiter; she stated that they would only be available at the buffet. When we went to the buffet the waiters took all our full beverages to discard. I asked one of the waiters where our drinks were and i was told that they would be returned when we get seated. When we returned we were told that there are no more drinks being served. As to why you would take a customer's full drinks is beyond me. For what reason we all didn't know. but that was odd and rude

    Their dishes come in big portions and the food is very nice. Their drinks are very big and strong. The service is excellent, top tier. Our waiter took pictures of us and showed us nice spots to take more photos if we want. Offered us complimentary birthday cake slices since we were celebrating. Overall perfect perrrrfect!! Highly recommend ❤️
