Went there for a quick lunch on a weekdays with my friends. The concept of having a small restaurant in supermarkets seems to be gaining moment now. They have created a really nice mini restaurant inside Cargills. The ambience is pretty welcoming. They have nice selection of food items which includes rice & curry, fried rice, noodles, grills, burgers, pastas, sushi, sashimi and so on. The staff is very helpful. The overall experience was very nice and will return for more food.
