ANTIPASTI FOR TWO ~ MYR 28.00 |
Italian fares quickly stuffed our desk; bruschetta 28, antipasti, bolognese, lasagna, and pizza. A little bit of disclaimer, I’m not likely a fan of Italian delicacies, so I’m actually not the very best decide for these meals.
For starters, the Conventional Bruschetta, the slices of toasted baguette topped with chopped tomatoes, fundamental, and garlic was simply okay for me. The Antipasti For Two, was completely not my cup of tea.

MURG TIKKA BUTTER MASALA ~ MYR 45.00 | NAAN ~ MYR 8.00 |
Serving measurement was big for the mains, however a tad too little for the kiddie meal. The biryani was actually good, and really spicy, and the identical will be mentioned for my butter masala.
