I went there for my bday dinner and I have promised to go back there again for my anniversary two months later. And it's not just because of the food, which is decent, but because of the extraordinary hospitality by Monsoon. She made us feel special, hovered around us just the right amount, and at the same time gave us our privacy. That's a tough tough task if you ask me. The place is large, beautiful and fancy. I had gone there after a long day of travel in my travel clothes and was still not disregarded. I say this because I have seen it happen in restaurants where a simple salwar kameez wearer is often overlooked. Restaurants, you know who you are. And lastly, the food. It's expensive, but then the portion sizes are not too small, which again is the case in most 'fancy' places. Their baked stuff - be it the house bread, the pull apart bread that came with the melt, or the Greek pies, was absolutely great! Oh, their aglio alio was perfect! Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 3.5/5 (good, but

An absolutely incredible dining experience at Lupa! The food was exceptionally delicious, with handcrafted pastas that were truly outstanding. The starters were equally impressive—interesting, creative, and packed with flavour. The wine selection was amazing, offering a wonderful variety to complement the meal. The ambience, thoughtful details, and overall attention to aesthetics felt truly Michelin-worthy, making the entire experience feel special. A special mention to Kumu, our amazing waiter, for the excellent service and for making the experience even more memorable. An absolute gem for anyone who appreciates exceptional food, beautiful ambience, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommend Lupa!

The food was excellent, the fish tacos and lamb lasagne were very good. The ambience is very nice and perfect for a fancy date. The staff was quick and attentive with their service. Lovely experience! PS: The place is more expensive than District suggests

It’s kinda pricey and less quantity but for us it didn’t matter as the food was totally amazing and so was the service. Lovely ambience and very friendly and welcoming staff. Looking forward to see what they’ll have for Christmas.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The hot brie, chicken kebab and the chicken main course. Expensive but the ambience and food is worth the while. Did not like the pistachio gelato so much though.

Superb food and amazing staff. Staff was very attentive (to an extent we didn't have to call them even once). They served us really well. Good location. Good ambience and super good food.

Extremely disappointing experience for ₹7,000. The food was bland, sometimes cold, and lacked flavour. The duck pasta tasted like Chettinad chicken curry, the lamb and hummus were underwhelming, and the crackling pork was unbearably salty. The meat in general barely tasted like meat. Some staff were weird, and finding cockroaches on the table was absolutely unacceptable. For fine-dining prices, the food, service, and hygiene were nowhere near the standard expected. Definitely not worth the money.
