    I had read a lot about this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. Everything about it was way above par. We enjoyed the appetizer of eggplant and pomegranate seeds. The entrees and bread were special, and the dessert of kulfi lollipops were an unexpected surprise presentation and were delicious. I highly recommend Aarufor as a great dining experience.
