Very rare to find. Nerula’s hot fudge was made indian style with cocoa instead of chocolate, incredibly familiar tasting. Same with amul chili cheese toast. Minor quibble: hot halwa served in metal martini glass burned fingers and chai served in stone cup again burns fingers. Amazing service and food came quickly and kindly.

When we arrived on time, we were seated at a table likely meant for 2 and the hostess mentioned that there were no other tables, And also no acknowledgment of the reason for our visit. We eventually saw in the next few minutes, a group of 3 being seated at a much bigger table and some previous guests were also seated at even larger table. So I am guessing this is not their usual practice to seat 4 at a smaller table as we had to manage with the cramped space. The serve staff were decent but were quite busy and we had to draw their attention occasionally. It was a busy evening and the service seemed slow, our food arrived not so hot and a bit delayed. Food taste overall was good, we enjoyed what we could make the best out of the evening.
