People with food allergies beware! I came here for a family meal and everything was great, up until I tasted a main dish (chicken karahi) that, according to their allergen menu, was nut free, however I developed an allergic reaction almost instantly. I quickly took some antihistamines, and spoke to a waiter who immediately got on the defence, but after insisting that I was indeed having a reaction (just because you can't see it on my face, doesn't mean it's not occurring inside), he spoke to the chef. When he returned the table, he began suggesting that perhaps I mixed spoons or cross contaminated the food myself. Yup, that totally happened to someone, living 25 years with a severe nut allergy.
I totally understand that there's no guarantee, and I always take that into account. However I still always take extra precautions and choose dishes that are less likely to contain nut ingredients. As the waiter was in defence mode throughout, nothing came out of me reporting that incident to him. I'm pretty appalled with the way this was handled, especially in suggesting it could have been my fault and not taking any responsibility of a mistake that could indeed have happened in the kitchen.
Other than that, I didn't believe the food was anything exceptional as a couple dishes (namely the palak paneer) did not look or taste fresh at all. The 2 stars are simply for the rest of my family suggesting the food was decent-ish.
side note: the allergen menu contained various spelling mistakes to which one of my family members joked about trusting whether it was accurate...probably should have taken him seriously. read more
