Last time we went in a group of 8 , we ordered only main course and 3 butter milk , this costed us Rs. 1319 .

HOW ABOUT THE AMBIENCE : The ambience is good in the Teachers Colony branch . The tables are very well placed in the second hall . I would recommend that people coming in families should opt for dining in the secong hall .They have even placed some rides inside the hall for very small kids . You can expect crowd of all kind .

HOW ABOUT THE DINING EXPERIENCE :
DRINKS : Drinks are fairly priced . Pint beer is around Rs. 75 .
We also ordered Butter Milk priced "Rs. 45" - This was good .

FOOD : Coming to the most important part Food . First time , I went with my wife I ordered :-1) Non-Veg starter "Tandoori Chicken" - which was good .
2) Paneer Butter Masala - which was Average .
This time the experience was little different , We ordered :-
1) Aranya Special Curry priced "Rs. 150" - It turned down our expectaion . I would rate it just Average.
2) Mushroom Mattar priced "Rs. 130" - was also average in terms of taste value .
3) Dum Kashmiri Aloo priced "Rs 130" - came by surprise to us . It was "JUST PATHETIC".
BREADS : We ordered 4 types of breads :-
1) Kulcha Onion butter priced "Rs. 30 " - was not that great to be rated "good" but yes definitely "Above Average" .
2) Tandoori Roti priced "Rs. 18" - Average
3) Makai Roti priced "Rs. 25 "- Average
4) Missi Roti priced "Rs. 25" - Average

HOW ABOUT THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE : The overall experience was below average .
The location of the reaturant is bad , not in terms of reach but definitely in terms of surroundings . It is just adjacent to a low grade Wine shop which is always flaunted by Cheap Crowd . It is ideal place for giving "All boyz booze parties" since drinks are fairly priced and starters are good . This is what guys exactly want . Ambience is good .It generally remains too much crowded at night , so either make a booking in Advance or prepare to wait for some 10 minutes or so .
