You should definitely try Kadak. They have some unique flavours to their dishes, it’s not the typical flavour that you make expect. We tried their chicken wings, chicken biryani, and dabba gosht. All three dishes were unique, it’s different and it’s working ! Lastly, you have to try their guava mocktail, it was absolutely incredible.

My spouse and I had the pleasure of dining at “Carnival” yesterday to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional warmth and hospitality that truly sets this place apart from any other restaurant in town. Having visited several renowned establishments, none come close to matching the level of care, taste, and experience we received here. Special thanks to Mr. Dev for making every moment unforgettable. We enjoyed outstanding Mojitos, Inside Out Vada Pav, Paneer Tikka, Duet Curry Malai Kofta, Naan, and the decadent 3-Tier Gulab Jamun Rabri dessert. The food was simply exquisite, and we can’t wait to return to explore more of the menu. Ratings: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Menu Variety: 5/5
