I tried,
Soup

Both the soups were comforting specially the spiced mutton broth is perfect to have in coming pleasant days. I was having a sour throat and immediately I feel refreshed after quarter bowl of it.
Salads
- Seafood salad
- Dahi Vada
- Aloo channa chaat
- Methi aloo

Then I moved to the other counter to sample variety. There was a alluring display of whole roasted turkey, chef helped me to cut and served thigh part,it was soft and perfectly marinated by every mean.Totally recommended.
