This eatery began as an online shop. After a successful pop-up event at The Secretariat, it ventured into the dining scene. The signature food is grilled chicken. It also serves Burmese and Indian fusion dishes. Since it just opened its doors today as a soft opening phase, the menu is not complete yet. So, give your feedback and they can improve.
