Welcomed by The Iron Man, the restaurant is situated over 2 floors one being an open Air-bar. Here is an exclusive review about the restaurant concept, theme and food which become operational just 3 days back. The Bollywood/Cinema theme is all over the place, right from the tripod tables to the cinema lights to the bar setting to the selfie wall to the sharabi glasses.

The concept of Lights Camera Action is unique and can be seen deeply embedded unlike other places. The staff members wear Bollywood t-shirts with interesting one liner.
