Thali Restaurant

👍👍 Absolutely great dinner with the family this evening! Ordered the meat tasting Thali, which was the perfect amount of food for 2 adults and our 2 kids. Excellent flavours in all the dishes, great service, and ambience. Overall a wonderful (and very affordable for fine dining!) experience.
