We had organised my son’s first birthday at the restaurant. From the inception of speaking with Pankaj when requesting for a private area to hold our party, to the time we had walked out of the restaurant after our event, had been an outstanding and unforgettable experience. Given the varying dietary restrictions of myself and the guests, Pankaj ensured our banquet menu would cater for all palates, including gluten free and vegan. Every single dish was not only flawless in quality and texture, but was incredibly delicious and fresh. My dad who is a staunch vegetarian usually questions the integrity of restaurants, and has endless doubts and queries before he orders a single meal on the table. Here, after speaking for a couple of minutes with Pankaj, and being reassured of his ability to adhere to requirements, was a testament to Pankaj’s long standing & successful career in hospitality management. We expressed that we'd like to hire services of a decorations company to come and set up our area for the party, and Pankaj not only welcomed the idea, but was extremely accomodating in facilitating for this to occur in the best possible way. His and his crew’s ability to meticulously handle multiple guests’ requests on the night of our party - at a full capacity restaurant, and yet delivering the perfect service all round, is not an ordinary experience one would feel elsewhere. He & his wonderful crew have left an everlasting experience in both mine and my husband’s family’s hearts. Simply cannot thank your hospitality and kindness for being incredibly attentive and cognisant of all our needs throughout our dealing, Pankaj. Thanks a ton and more, for making our son’s first birthday a night to remember for many years to come!! ♥️
