I've tried the chinese menu there. Ordered a Fried Rice the first time I went. One thing you must know is, anything you order from any of the stalls, the portions are huge! A Fried rice can feed 2 adults, so keep that in mind when you order something. Besides that, we also tried Butter Chicken and Chicken Biryani from the punjabi stall. This stall must be one of the favorite stalls, as there is always a long queue. both the dishes tasted very homely. If you visit a Punjabi home, the dishes would be as authentic. :) Plus point. Speaking about the portion.... the chicken biryani was served with 4 pieces of chicken drumsticks! You can imagine how I had to finish it! The biryani was served with complimentary lentil curry and refreshing yoghurt. It was flavorsome, and not spicy at all.
Prices were reasonable. R30 for a chicken biryani is not bad at all. We ordered Masala Tea for drinks. Good when the weather is cold, spices in the tea was refreshing. You can also try the variety of snacks available, such as Paani puri and Dhokla.
What I don't really like about the place though is the ambience. It is quite dark and gloomy, so does not really give a good first impression. :S The management could really do up the place to make it cleaner and look better. What I suggest is, have a take away instead. Plus point for food, and you don't need to be seated in a gloomy area!
Overall impression :
Food : 4/5
Drinks : 4/5
Ambience : 2/5
Service : Not applicable
