If you yet convinced, then you will be surely amazed at the brilliant Hookahs that they serve. Right from order placement, the hookah guy is suggestive and churns out your expected flavor. Being an indoor seating with Hookah, this can make some of you uncomfortable with the smoke.

Coming to the food, I started my course with Budapest Soup made out of Tuscan stock. Then we moved ahead with many rounds of starters, Speaking about the options and varieties, they have it all. From Indian starters to fiery Chinese, to the elegant Continental and Italian, this place has a very elaborate menu that gonna spoil you for choices.

Looking at the long list of recommendations, you might be surprised but this is just a few dishes from their appetizers menu.

After washing down tons of appetizers with my drink, we called for a limited Main course dishes that were suggested by the manager himself. We treated ourselves with Arabita Pasta – which was quite average, Dal Makhani, Mutton Roganjosh, Islamabadi Murg makhani with assorted breads from Indian fare. The Indian Course was just fantastic. Another Highlight was the Schezwan pan fried noodles from Chinese fare and Brick Chicken from the continental.

There were so many other dishes on another table as well and being a Legit Human, I only managed to try, eat & suggest all this. Overall, Meal-o-drama was fun and it was a hell of a bloggers meet. The session concluded by a nice round of dance session and each guest was given an exclusive hamper with Melodrama exclusive merchandise and A bottle or York Wine.
