HAVEN SAMPOORNA

I read about it long back in Femina , since then I wanted to try it. And though it is very near to our home, I got to check it yesterday only. This is a small cafe with multicuisine..literally..Almost everything was listed in the menu. We tried garden sandwiches, hara bhara kabab and knock out.

In the main course as usual some vegetables ,including one paneer , two daals ..one methi daal and one daal makhaani , three types of rice...curd rice, plain boiled and veg biryani , dahi bhalla and plain curd and 4-5 variety in salad, with
