Certainly better than its current 2.7 rating.
The cafe has a very plain, small and oddly functional layout complete with old fashioned tables and chairs. Quite a surprise for a chain restaurant. It felt the opposite to other ruthlessly ordered semi Soviet in-house architect designed franchise outlets. It therefore gets immediate bonus points for its unusual and endearing shabbiness.

It’s an odd mixture of cuisine here. South Indian and indo Chinese. I selected the special biryani meal with a chicken starter and soft drink. The starter was lovely. The chicken was very tender and flavoursone. The raw onion was a step too far though. The biryani itself was lovely. It is very hot but nicely aromatic and quite satisfying. The whole meal is extremely good value for $15.95.

Full marks to the very nice server here. He picked that the lone Anglo was struggling with the warmth of the meal and very kindly brought me over extra yoghurt which I needed so badly. On one view, he saved my life.

I like this place. It struck me as an ideal place to spend a cold to coolish day.
