From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm and friendly smiles. The ambience was new, bright and beautiful. We were seated in a prime location to view the large screen which played movies and music to set the tone for the evening. The menu offered options for every palate which made it difficult to choose our courses. We decided on the highly recommended lamb shank biryani. It was so tender and flavorful! A MUST! The portion was perfect for sharing. We highly recommend Crystal Spoons!
