I had an incredible dining experience at Chanakya Restaurant. The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the dishes were a delightful fusion of flavors. I along with my friends had Rotti and paneer. We ordered Butter tandoori Rotti, Butter Tawa Rotti, kadai, afgani, butter masala, tikka masala, and Shahi paneer... Dude, u should really try this out... It's so good.. I am definitely gonna visit this place again.
