Stopped here before Ngorongoro&mdash;the idli sambhar was soft and hit the spot. Packaging was tidy, easy to eat on the go. A cold beer would&#39;ve made it perfect, but it was still early.

The nyama wali was really good, and the fresh juice hit the spot. I sat there for a while after eating, just using the WiFi to catch up on some stuff. It&rsquo;s not the quietest spot, but the vibe is chill enough. I&rsquo;d go back if I&rsquo;m in the area and need a decent meal with decent internet.

The place has a nice setting, and the food is pretty good too. I had the grilled fish, which was decent. Maybe a bit on the pricey side for what you get, but fine for a casual dinner. Service was okay, nothing special. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area.
