Digital Marketing Agency

Bombay Grill

Bombay Grill serves Indian and Pakistani cuisine and boasts of their dishes having its own distinctive flavor and aroma which cannot come from any curry powder and prepared as it would be done in your own homes.

Taj Palace

There are two things you need before you go to a buffet: a voracious appetite and a loose fitting pair of eating pants. Unlike other buffets that subtract in quality what they provide in quantity, Taj Palace will not let you down. The staff here say the food is similar to what the kings of India once dined on. I’m no gastronomist, but I doubt the great Mughals stood in line to scoop butter chicken out of aluminum trays.

Om Nepali Indian Restaurant
