“ and finally the wait is over to eat parathas at the restaurant. yummiest parathas one must try away from home to feel like home. Specially paratha combo either with yogurt or chai both are delicious. Overloaded stuffing, extra butter and spices make the parathas feel like heaven. Everyone who will have parathas will be over the moon with every bite of intake. Staff is friendly with a great atmosphere. ”
