Mirra did not disappoint. We have been here for a tasting menu before (good but not the best) and this time we came in for regular dining. Drinks were on point and really bring the fusion of flavors. Every item we tried on the menu was really good. Fish of the day in tandoori marinade and prawn chaat were my personal favorites and everything I tried was delicious. Staff is wonderful and ambiance is a great for a fun dinner night. Their dessert menu is underwhelming for my taste and Margie's is always close for me :) read more

Sometimes, places discovered by a happy accident are the best! I'd journeyed to Le Bouchon across the street, only to discover they were closed for a private event! Looking around, I immediately saw Mirra, and decided to give it a shot. If you take nothing else from the review, let it be this: Mirra has fusion done right! It is easy to do a fusion restaurant to sell two disparate cuisines, for fear that real fusion will cause "all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light". I once visited a Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurant that had Mexican Tacos and Japanese Sushi, rather than Mexican Sushi and Japanese Tacos! Mirra is the kind of spot that makes me wish Yelp had a sixth star, for places that are all around exceptional are rare, and Mirra is one of them. Now, I like to at least pretend I know the difference between issues with technical execution and matters of personal taste. The only critiques I can levy are due to personal taste alone. Don't get me wrong, these are numerous, but "I don't like mango" (for e.g.) is not a valid reason to dock any points. I had the pleasure of eating: Chaas Aguachile, Fideo Seco, Scallop Khavsa, and the Rasmali Tres Leches. I also had the pleasure of drinking: "oof," Marg No. 6, and a Caffo Amaretto digestif. We start at the Chaas Aguachile: There is an immediate hit of bright acid notes, one that quickly fades into a savory experience. The fish is of exceptional quality, and the accents make the experience even better such as the nopales adding vegetal notes, and the fried bits (onion?) adding just enough crispness. Next comes the Fideo Seco: I can hardly complain about this being a meatless, pasta-centric dish, it is so by design. If I put my carnivorous nature aside, the dish was still superbly executed. The pasta was cooked well, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the green added abundant earthy notes. Again, some bonus points for the accents of cheese and fried pepper(?) bits. The star of the night was the Scallop Khavsa. This dish took me back to a divine scallop dish I had at Montreal's Cadet. Scallops were of top-tier quality, the sauce was rich and flavorful enough to be eaten like soup (no surprise, since Khavsa is soup!) Peppers added some heat without going overboard, squid chicharron for some crispness, and veggies addedbrightness. Just enough heat, just enough sweet, all the savory, all the texture, 11/10, no notes. For dessert, I ordered the Rasmali Tres Leches. A rock solid dessert with a soft, moist cake which is great for lovers of mango, which unfortunately, I am not. In my opinion, the mango (or perhaps my lack of love of it), overpowered more subtle things going on, like an olive oil cake or saffron-cardamom milks. Also, while a fine dessert to share, I felt the portion was too large for one person. Now, we arrive at the drinks: The "oof" was a delightful take on an Indo-Mexican old fashioned, the Marg #6 a creative version of a margarita that didn't go overboard on the strawberries. Both, especially the OOF were strong and boozy, had savory notes, and just the right amount of sweet. Finally, the Caffo Amaretto was just that, a higher quality amaretto. An area where Mirra shines is the service. The servers work superbly as a team, and service was very friendly, attentive, and fast, especially given that the restaurant was very busy at the time. I especially want to recognize my bartender, O'Neil. One little note on service: when food is brought out, the waiter offers a quick explanation of what it is and what goes into it. However, given the speed and volume at which this is spoken in an already loud environment, it can be very hard to understand. This led to me completely missing the tortilla brought with one of the dishes. Being wrapped in napkins and set aside, I dismissed these as extra napkins rather than tasty and homemade looking tortillas! Oops. Final verdict: While it's not incorrect to say I personally did not love all the dishes at Mirra, this is due to matters of taste. I don't adore nopales, mangoes, or green pastas. However, I do adore the care, creativity, and quality that shines through in every dish, drink, and server interaction. Everything was top-notch, so much so I made a reservation to return two weeks later before I even paid my bill. read more

The food here is outstanding! The flavors and layers of Mexican and Indian spices are so well incorporated and I've never experienced something like it. So much so that i keep coming back! Being gluten free this restaurant does have ample choices on their menu but since some things may be seasonal be sure to tell the waiter and they'll brief you on what's good. My favorites have been the roasted beets, prawn chaat, lamb biryani (I eat it without the roti topping), and the seasonal fish. Mocktails are also amazing here and well crafted not just juice. I haven't tried the tasting menu yet but I look forward to the experience some time soon! read more

I was excited to finally get a chance to try Mirra and came by with a couple of friends for dinner. I started with the Mezcal Negroni which was tasty. I enjoyed the mezcal mango combo and it was a fairly light and refreshing drink. For food we shared the Roasted Winter Squash Chaat, Crispy Taco, Lamb Barbacoa Biryani with a Roti Seal, and Duck Carnitas. The crispy taco and duck carnitas were my favorite of the night. The crispy tacos reminded me of the seafood / ceviche tacos I've had in Mexico City and the scallops were really fresh. We added on a taco as it's 2 per order typically. The duck carnitas were great as well with pressed duck legs served with a green tomatillo sauce and tortillas. The carnitas shredded easily and I liked how crispy the outside edges were. The toasted winter squash was pretty good as well but the lamb biryani was a letdown. As one of their signature dishes, the roti seal was fun but didn't add any flavor and was pretty dry to eat. The biryani itself was bland and lamb a bit dry. There are so many great spots for biryani and this one was just ok. Unfortunately overall the food didn't really interest me. I've had better Mexican and Indian food elsewhere and the promise of fusion dishes ended up to be a letdown. read more

When your out and about trying new restaurants, there is a "Law" of averages that takes place - Out of ten restaurant tries: 2 will be Excellent 2 will be Just Okay 6 will be good to very good (Exceptional and Duds are rare) Tonight at Mirra, I got one of those "rare" exceptional's, and it hit me like a brick! Everything going on here at Mirra was pretty damn exceptional! The service, the ambience, the menu, the taste palette, just magnificent. I have been hearing a lot of monologue about Mirra and how outstanding it is. So tonight was a "I've gotta know" night and I was certainly NOT disappointed. I ordered: * Mirra Mezze - which was Housemade Achar, Salsa Tatemado, Sikil Pak, Guacamole, Tlayudas & Papads - Stunning * Crispy Taco - with Hudson Bay Scallops, Mexican Green Curry, Nopales Pico, Crispy Fenugreek Roti - one of the best tacos I've ever had * Skull Island Prawn Chaat - which consisted of U8 Grilled Prawns, Chaat Yogurt, Cilantro-Mint Chutney, Salsa Negra - you've never had peel and eat shrimp done this was - unbelievably unique and delicious * Off Color Mexican Beer made specifically for tacos What I had here tonight for dinner was a blend of Mexican food with India flavors. Everything just worked so well here at Mirra, 5 Stars were not enough for this restaurant! read more

Finally got to try Mirra and it definitely lived up to the hype! Indian-Mexican fusion isn't something I thought I needed to try, but clearly I was mistaken. Everything about this place was a yes. Bollywood music, check. Excellent, friendly service, check. Food that's flavorful and spicy? CHECK! Though, nothing was overly spicy. The presentation and the blend of spices for each dish was just lovely. We loved the lamb tacos (crispy cheese!) and the duck tacos (so, so, so tender). The Carne Apache Papad was soooo good. I could've had 5 of those! And of course, the lamb biriyani was just incredibly flavorful and the lamb was tender and juicy. It was also beautifully presented and we couldn't get enough. The only dish we didn't really care for was the Mirra Salad. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as amazing as everything else we had. I can see why this place is a Bib and I'm a fan for sure! read more

We came into Mirra for brunch - the overall experience was solid, but I wouldn't say it was something I'd go out of my way for. The service was decent, as was the cold brew and chai. The food itself was also great - the Vada pav breakfast sandwich and chiliquiles were amazing. They had some really interesting menu items but many of them were seafood or beef - I do wish some of their more unique items (e.g. idli Benedict) had some veg options. The portions were large and food was good. Would be interested in trying dinner here. read more

Mirra in Bucktown is such a fun and refreshing concept--an Indian-Mexican fusion spot that really leans into its vibe. The Bollywood music adds a unique, energetic touch that instantly sets the mood and makes it feel like more than just a dinner--it's an experience. The service was also solid--attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The margaritas were definitely a highlight--perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly some of the best part of the evening. The food overall is good, with a few standout dishes, though some items felt a bit average. We enjoyed the roti quesadilla the most, followed by the scallops khavsa. The beet salad was just average. That said, the atmosphere, music, and drinks more than make up for it. If you're looking for a lively night out with great cocktails and a unique cultural twist, Mirra is absolutely worth checking out. read more

Mirra was a solid spot overall. The highlight of my night was definitely the lamb biriyani. It was perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and easily my favorite dish we ordered. However, I would probably pass on the crispy taco next time. The scallop filling was good, but the shell kind of ruined it for me. I was also really excited to try the rasmalai tres leches but it ended up being just okay. The texture was more crumbly, almost like a cupcake, which caught me off guard and was not what I was expecting. read more

Came here last night for my birthday along with my brother who has a birthday in the same weekend. We had a wonderful experience. The ambience and the service were incredible. Top notch for sure. Some of the dishes that really stood out to me were the taquitos, the octopus, the scalp crispy tacos, and all of the cocktails. Everything else is very good tasting. It's tough to make a fusion restaurant with two very distinct cultures, both filled with very potent flavors. I felt they did a very good job, and I would recommend it to others who would want to stop by. If you are sensitive to spices, though, you may want to be careful on what you order on the menu. (I loved it all, but my local Chicago mother had a difficult time with some of the dishes.) read more

4.5 stars rounded up. Got to try this absolute gem and try their counter tasting menu. Flavors were spot on (although the tortilla got a little repetitive), service was uneven (chef was engaging but other servers clearly were new / didn't know the menu well) and drinks were ok. Top dishes of the night were the duck, the seafood kabob and surprisingly the beef tongue, which I was hesitant to try but it was so delicate and flavorful. It was a cozy night and the restaurant was packed on a Thursday night. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

From the second you take a seat in this vibrant and cozy restaurant, the staff is there to make your experience amazing.

Our water glasses never went empty, and the table was cleared and cleaned in between several dishes. They clearly take service seriously!! As far as the food goes - everything we tried was amazing! My two favorite dishes were the chaas aguachile and the crispy tacos! The whole fish was also a masterpiece! I can't wait to go back! read more

When Mexican and Indian flavors are fused with real intention, Mirra becomes something truly special. Located in Bucktown, Mirra is a relatively new, chef-driven restaurant that feels exactly like what you want from Chicago's dining scene right now. It's a smaller, single-room space--nicely appointed but not flashy--and the hospitality hits immediately when you walk in. This isn't a big restaurant group or a concept chasing trends. It's talented chefs and mixologists who've clearly put in the reps, now running their own place with confidence and care. What really sets Mirra apart is the fusion itself. This isn't surface-level or gimmicky "slap a curry on a taco" fusion. The Mexican and Indian influences are deeply integrated, to the point where reading the menu is genuinely intriguing--you're not always sure what something will taste like until it hits the table. And almost every time, it lands. We went for brunch, and while there aren't many brunch reviews yet, I'd be shocked if any service here isn't excellent. Service * Warm, polished hospitality from the moment you walk in * Staff clearly knows the menu and how to pace a shared meal * Attentive without hovering Food * Idli Crab Benedict - curried crab with beautiful spice balance; small, shareable, and a great opener * Vada Pav - a street-food-inspired breakfast sandwich; bold spices, comforting and creative * Huevos Rancheros - infused with Indian spices and served with house-made roti; familiar yet completely transformed * French Toast - outstanding, layered with Indian dessert spices; rich without being heavy * Portions are designed to share--three to four dishes is perfect for two people Drinks & Dessert * Espresso Martini - well executed * Mimosa - classic and clean * Guava Margarita - bright and refreshing * Rasmalai Tres Leches (to-go) - an inspired mashup that absolutely works and finishes the meal strong Verdict Mirra is a standout. The flavors are bold, thoughtful, and unlike anything else in the city right now. It's chef-driven, genuinely creative, and executed at a high level without feeling pretentious. A five-star experience and exactly the kind of restaurant you want to see thriving in a Chicago neighborhood. read more

SHERRY and her team do an excellent job ensuring every detail is taken care of. The service is impeccable, and the team under her leadership moves with true harmony and ease. CARNE APACHE was my favorite of the night -bold, and incredibly addicting, with just enough heat to keep you coming back for another bite. CHARRED CAULIFLOWER SALAD is hands-down the best cauliflower salad I've ever had. The layers of texture make every bite interesting, from smoky char to crisp and creamy elements. LAMB BARBACOA BIRYANI is beautifully presented -- rich, aromatic, and deeply comforting, with flavors that unfold as you eat. TRES LECHES is a must-order. The mango pairing is spot on. I didn't think I could eat another bite, but somehow the plate was completely clean. read more

My goal is to try 50 new Chicago restaurants in 2025! Restaurant: 65/50 Month tried: November Favorite dish: Chaas aguachile, pulpo ala nayarit, fideos seco Welcome to one of the newest Chicago Bib Gourmands! We were so excited to score a reservation at Mirra. It absolutely lived up to the hype it's been getting! I don't know that I've ever had Indian/Mexican fusion, but they nailed it. There were so many of the deep flavors of Indian food paired with light seafood and sauces of Mexican cuisine. Great cocktails as well. Our server was fantastic and mapped out an entire meal for us because we had no idea where to start. We swapped out a few things with others, but her recommendations were perfect. My favorite dish was the Fideos Seco - a squash blossom pasta dish with a curry-like sauce that was fire. We also loved the aguachile and the octopus. Honestly I would recommend coming with 4+ people, and just ordering the entire menu. There is still so much we wanted to try! We will be back. read more

Indian Mexican fusion, definitely bold flavors. Having said that I feel I'm from 80s mixing to cuisines is a no-no, the chef has done a really good job of mixing the two closely associated cultures in curating his dishes. It's a small plates restaurant so per person I would say three dishes and including one entrée. We ordered a lot of food that didn't fit in the two people table. Which helped us pace out our evening. I like the fact, we do have a lot of food options and a variety to choose from vegetarian and meat alternatives. Lamb biryani was presented very well, the lamb was too tender. It was just melt in your mouth.. Ambience was too dark however, I felt it matched with the vibe. read more

Mirra is great! A really great Indian-Mexican fusion spot. We started the meal with two drinks--Bubbs, which was very refreshing and light with mild sweetness, and Old Fashioned #1, which was very strong. For appetizers, we started with the roasted beets, which were so, so good. The muhammara was very flavorful, and the goat cheese paired really well. The golden beets were very soft. The Mirra mezze had a very unique concept of various Mexican dips served with papad. All the dips were unique, and the papad was very crunchy. For the entrée, we had the Chile en Nogada. It's basically a coated, hollow poblano pepper filled with Amul cheese and saag. I really liked how creamy and delicious the entire dish was. We ended the dinner with the rasmalai tres leches, which is a must-try. The cake was filled with cardamom flavor, and the rasmalai and saffron notes were very rich. The cake felt a bit dry on the inside, but overall it was a great dish. The place is tiny with limited seating, but the service is really nice and the servers are very attentive. read more

Mirra has such a cool vibe. The inside was nicely decorated and they had a huge menu. The small portion sizes gave us a chance to try more. What we ordered: - Ora King Salmon Mango Ceviche: The salmon was a bit thick and chewy. It didn't have the buttery soft texture I prefer. - Roasted Bone Marrow: Delicious! I loved it with the flavors of the braised short ribs & warm tortilla. I wish there was more bone marrow! - Tacos Arabe: Second fav. The lamb flavor was very intense (in the best way) read more

I just had such a spectacular meal at Mirra. This is a Mexican-Indian fusion restaurant and man do they do it so well. The interior is cozy and warm, very inviting. The gm, Sherry, is so sweet and friendly. Our server, Jeremy, was awesome as well, very helpful and chill, thoroughly enjoyed the service we received by every single person there, such a delight. Now onto the food. We had chaas aguachile, crispy taco, ora king salmon mango ceviche, scallop khavsa, tacos arabe, lamb barbacoa biryani with kallettes, then we finished with rasmalai tres leches, and natilla con fresas. Our favorites were the crispy taco (the most perfect little bite), scallop khavsa (flava explosion), tacos arabe (super robust flavor w the melted cheese on the tortilla and such tender lamb) lamb biryani with kallettes (the sauces that come w this biryani are *chefs kiss, and the biryani itself was out of this world. Kallettes are like the cousin of kale and brussel sprouts and went so well w the biryani) and the natilla con fresas. I know the tres leches cake is way more popular, but that vanilla custard was perfection to me. This restaurant is so super inventive and creative, but it all also works so well together. Such an excellent dining experience! There's free street parking on Armitage and also some on the smaller side streets, but be careful to not park in the permit zones! read more

I came to Mirra on a Thursday evening . Check In- 5/5. Staff was very friendly and the server went above and beyond to explain the menu to me to help me decide what to eat. I wanted the entire menu. I narrowed it down to the crispy tacos with the bay scallops and the Lamb barbacoa biryani. Crispy Tacos- bright, spicy, fresh. Lamb Biryani-10/10. The achar and yogurt were so good on the side but I could have eaten the main dish alone. I did get a side of the habanero sauce also because I love heat. Service was quick and efficient. I loved the playlist and the ambiance was very lively. Great for celebrating special occasions or solo dining. read more

Decided to try Mirra for a birthday dinner. The restaurant has a very relaxing and intimate vibe. We were seated fairly quickly and our waiter Jeremy helped start us off with some drinks. My wife had the Bubbs which was good and I had the Kulukki which had a spicy kick. I do like ginger so i enjoyed it but not sure if Id say its for everyone. For food, we started with the Tacos Arabe and Scallop Khavsa. The Tacos Arabe were phenomenal, the lamb was excellently cooked and the dish had so much flavor. The scallops were good and the sauce added a nice kick to it. Then we had Rasul's Roti Quesadilla which was okay. We ended with the Lamb Barbacoa Biriyani, which we thought was pretty decent. I did wish it had a little more spice but otherwise was great. To finish it off, we had the Tres Leches Ras Malai which was also good. I liked the mango flavor, it made it fairly unique and our waiter surprised me with an extra birthday dessert which was interesting as well. Overall we had a great time. The service was excellent, ambiance/decor of the restaurant was intimate and the food was fairly unique and good. Would definitely recommend! read more

After enjoying several dinners at Mirra, we decided to try brunch. Service was as good as always and we thoroughly enjoyed the guava margaritas and the spritz. Mezze was the perfect starter, everything tasted lovely. I tried the Idli Crab Benedict, there was a generous serving of crab but the sauce totally overpowered it, it didn't taste bad but the sauce completely masked the flavor of the crab, which was a shame - all in all just an ok dish. My companion tried the Vada Pav Breakfast sandwich, which she thought was again, just ok. All in all, I'd say we were disappointed in the brunch, we'll stick to dinner from now on. read more

Food was pretty solid - their desserts were the real stars of the show though! Tres leches cake is a must have!! Take the below with a grain of salt and was just my experience - no discredit to the team at Mirra: Service was sooooo weird..?? I get that they would want to help course it out for us...but to the point where they insisted on us ordering more when we preferred to order 3 dishes to share for 2 and then see if we wanted anything more later definitely left a bad taste. The server was also very pushy on us getting drinks when we weren't super keen... the comment "oh are you guys just looking for a light meal" when we ordered less than 4/5 dishes felt a little snarky.... read more

Mexican and Indian are two of my favorite cuisines and I've had a lot of it. But not like this-- not in a way that brought completely new and fun flavors in fusion. We had a daal and potato dish that was incredible and full of flavor. The vada pav breakfast sandwich was one of my favorite dishes I've ever had, taking one of my favorite childhood dishes and making it the perfect brunch treat. The ras malai tres leches was also incredible. I would love to go back and try the regular dinner menu as well, but if you're looking for a unique, fun brunch place this is amazing.

Phenomenal! Normally I'm not a fan of fusion, especially Mexican and Indian - two cuisines I know quite well...until now. I attended an event with a pre-fixed menu of 9 dishes, served family style, and honestly the duality in every single dish worked so well. It felt like each dish got better and better, with my favorites being the crispy tacos with scallops, pulpo ala nayarit, salmon fry, and rasmalai tres leches. You just won't find food like this elsewhere. Each dish really was the best of both worlds and came together in such a cohesive and scrumptious way. And the homemade blue corn tortillas were a nice touch. The service was 10/10 from the people at the host stand, to my water consistently being refilled (despite it being extremely busy), to the servers bringing and taking away plates. The ambiance is nice too - warehouse vibes meets nice restaurant and I loved how the kitchen was partly open so you could see people cooking and the bathrooms were fully stocked. It felt like no detail small or big was overlooked. If it's not obvious, I highly recommend Mirra and can't wait to return! read more

I've been a huge fan of any restaurant that is attached to Chef Zubair. I absolutely love Lilac Tiger and the OG Waz Wan. Since I had a family member visiting ..It was the perfect time to check out his latest collaboration with Chef Rishi. The best way to describe this Punjab and Mexican fusion is ; a feast for the senses. We started with the Mirra mezze with housemade achar, salsa tatemado, sikil pak, guacamole, tlayudas & papad , Crispy tacos with bay scallops, Mexican green curry, nopales pico, crispy fenugreek, a charred cauliflower salad with a refreshing yogurt-agave dressing, morita-peanut salsa macha, hominy-madras crunch, herbs. The stand-alone appetizer for me was the Crispy taco. Each bite added to the sensory experience. There was this amazing sensation of popping, cooling, and crunching. It had a molecular gastronomy feel too. The rasmalai tres leches cake was the perfect choice to end the evening. I will definitely come back to try out the lamb barbacoa biryani, scallops khavsa, and the other amazing dishes . Thank you, Chefs and our amazing waitress for a wonderful experience! read more

It's hard to snag a reservation here, so I was very excited to finally try Mirra! Waitstaff was friendly, and the interior is cozy. I would say that the food leans more towards Indian flavors with Mexican preparations. We ordered the taco arabe, crispy taco, chaos aguachile, and charred cauliflower salad. Each dish had an interesting combination of textures (soft, crunchy) and flavors (creamy, acidic). My favorite bites were the crispy taco and the taco arabe, especially because the taco arabe ended up being our only warm bite of the night. I would keep that in mind when ordering and try to have a nice balance of warm and cold dishes. read more

TL; DR: Get the biryani and poblano when you visit! Order all your items at once and they pace it out wonderfully. The dips are great to use throughout the dinner. The crab dish could have been skipped. The poblano pepper was amazing, but the table favorite was the biryani. The drinks are unique. The mezcal cocktail was delish and the martini was more in the sweeter side. Ambience was great - moody lighting. Service was attentive and was always cleaning the table. read more

So, we had heard a lot about Mirra, and I'm someone who loves trying different and interesting food. Mirra clearly has a unique take on the fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisine. My friend and I initially got bar seating, but when we arrived, we asked if a table was available and they were able to accommodate us. We went on a weekend, so that's probably why it worked out. Let's talk about the drinks: I ordered the Old Fashioned, which had a mezcal base and was supposed to have notes of mango. I felt it lacked the mango flavor and was heavily dominated by mezcal. 6/10 My friend ordered the Bubbs, which was really good and refreshing. It was a mocktail with basil, guava, curry leaves, and mango. I loved this one, it was flavorful, not overly sweet, and felt very natural. 9/10 For appetizers, we got the Mirra platter. The dips were really good. One was coconut-based, another avocado-based, and I'm not entirely sure what the other two were made of. One had a bit of tanginess, so I'm guessing tomato and tamarind. The crisps went well with the dips too. They also had one item that was their take on nachos. While it was definitely crispy, I felt it was too hard-almost overly so. That could be improved. Overall, I would still recommend this starter. 7.5/10 Next, we had the roasted beets. This dish was roasted beet served on muhammara sauce, topped with spices and goat cheese. I loved this one. I'm not usually a huge fan of beets, but this was too good to skip. The goat cheese and muhammara completely changed the game. That said, I'm not sure how well this dish fits into their Indo-Mexican theme. 9/10 Moving on to the entrée: We ordered the Chile en Nogada. This was a poblano pepper filled with spinach and cheese purée, then breaded and fried. It was a decent dish, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy all the flavors and probably wouldn't order it again. Still, it was worth trying once. 7/10 For dessert, we had their mango tres leches, the cake was an olive oil one which went well the mango cream they had on top. You can ask for extra milk for the cake ( I personally felt it was a bit dry ). I enjoyed the flavor of cardamom as well. 8/10 Overall, it's a nice place with a good vibe. The service was good, and the setting felt comfortable. This place is a Bib Gourmand. I do think they have a long way to go to reach Michelin star status, if that's something they're aiming for. I would rate this place an 8/10. read more
