For those who love Indian Cuisine we highly recommend going to the restaurant “ Anglo Indian Cafe and Bar”.
Seeing all the amazing dishes of Indian Cuisines I really did miss India.
We loved the food and the ambience. The staff were very welcoming as well. You must definitely try out the Dum Biriyani, Chicken Malai kebab and Fresh lime Soda (with both salt and sugar).
