The sprawling space is well-demarcated into a smoker’s zone, a special space for a corporate meet, a family get-together or a cosy ‘we-two’.

Rose, Red, Sparkling and White wines leave you craving for more.

You can indulge in a feast for breakfast with a wide variety of scrambled eggs, Belgium waffles, vegan matcha chia pudding or richly-laden Dora pancakes. For the fastidious, there are Nachos, Cajun fritters, Croquettes Chicken pops and even Jhalmuri Makhana which you can down with some delicious soups.

The Corny pink pepper chicken, rich in pickled onions and homemade chutney is deliciously different. The varied Sushi is distinct with its flavours and simply irresistible! If you love Pizzas, you have to dig into the delicious stone oven Pesto pizza that comes with confit tomatoes, olives and ricotta. The pizzas here are worth discovering for the adventurous toppings!

If you have a sweet tooth, you can’t ignore Reese’s chocolate tart, the Gianduja mousse or the milk cake to name a few.
