12th Main

Indiranagar

The original grill room, forty covers, one very long counter.

The dining room at Indiranagar, lit low

The first room. The counter seats fourteen and faces the coals directly, which is the best seat in the house and the reason we will not take bookings for it. Everything else is a table.
