Description
Beyond standard staples, the kitchen offers less common regional specialties like a spiced, tender Madurai goat chukka. The bar matches the food's heat with drinks like a Ceylon cocktail, which balances an arrack base with house-made lemon cordial. Guests eat in a space that features an enclosed patio, though some note that pricing runs high for a casual night out.
