The food was great, the vibe was lit and the drinks on the top of the world. Lived every bit of it and was my first but thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Had taken the bar counter so could get to see all the mixes and mixologists up close too🙈.

The food was excellent and the cocktails as well. And it really felt tucked away and intimate

Good place to unwind. Well they didn’t have some ingredients that goes in making of cocktails which were on their menu I wanted try. Had to settle for others . Must say their service and cleanliness on the bar table is exceptional. The spaghetti was bad but amazing veg starters.

Excellent cocktails, and some hits + misses with the food. Loved the 3 Gin Vesper Martini and the Mil.f cocktail. They ran a special one called Desert bloom which had Bombay Sapphire as the base, and it was fab! Great ambience and service too!

Unlike other cocktail bars, there were no welcome drinks, there was no effort from any bartenders or the service staff to even make an attempt to have a friendly banter with the customers when they arrived. It was all very formal and dry. Surprisingly not many cocktail options on the menu. And even in that, 2 cocktails weren't available. Very limited small plate options too. Overall a very boring experience.. Not sure on what basis this is considered India's best!

I visited last night and enjoyed the experience. The cocktails were great, and it's a good spot overall. However, I felt the food could use some improvement. The chicken and crab dishes were cooked so similarly that I couldn't tell them apart. It was a shame to sit at the bar and have no interaction with the bartenders, especially since a good bar experience often comes from that conversation.

Their drink Scarface really din’t work for me. We had to wait outside in the smoking room the entire time as the place is dingy and tables were occupied. It’s on the ground floor with no view and limited vibe. Only plus was that the staff was courteous.

Our slot was 7pm to 9pm. They started clearing the table at 8:30 and asked us to leave. More than half the bar was empty. Highly overpriced.

Highly over rated place. Cocktails are awful, just filled with sugar syrup absolutely no balance of flavours. Service is average.
