The Lamb shank Hyderabad is one of the best lamb dishes I have eaten anywhere in the world! Our waiter AKBAR not only provided an excellent service, but was also highly entertaining.

The restaurant is lovely and its the perfect surroundings for a lovely evening out. The food was lovely, not huge portions I have to say and it is I think, a little too expensive for what you get. I would recommend it though!
