Pipis always delights with its tasting menu which adds something extra in line with the season to a good variety of options. Service and attention to detail are great with James being knowledgeable about the wine options with Coravin making the tasting easy.

Amazing food, amazing service will definitely be going back.

We went to Atta for a Mother’s Day dinner — a very fancy, fine dining Indian restaurant — and overall it was a lovely experience. The ambience was fantastic, the service was attentive, and the food presentation was absolutely beautiful. The highlights of the evening were definitely the Golgappa and Dahi Ke Kebab. The Golgappa, in particular, was amazing — the pearls inside burst in your mouth and really elevated the experience. The daal was a little on the sweeter side for my taste, but the kids loved the Vindaloo, calling it a must-try dish. One area for improvement would be the bread basket — the naans weren’t served hot and felt like they had been prepared earlier than the curries. That said, when we reordered Butter Naan, it came out fresh and perfectly warm, which made a big difference. A small detail I appreciated was the onion salad — beautifully presented with perfectly cut large onion rounds. One suggestion would be to offer or include green chillies alongside, for those who enjoy that extra kick. 🙂 For desserts, the Dark Chocolate Torte and Chidiya Ka Ghosla were both a great way to finish. The Bharat Shahi Tukda, however, was a bit disappointing — the bread was chewy and had a slight oily smell. It may have been too thin and lacked the crispness you’d expect. The kulfi underneath was nice, though. Overall, a great dining experience with a few minor areas that could be improved.

Lovely staff and cuisine. Beautiful historic building in idilic location. Would return again.
