Good collection of fresh produce, Indian spices and pooja materials. They have an impressive collection of fake garlands and pooja essentials. They also had fresh marigold flowers.
Liked that the grains and pulses aren’t pre packaged and you can pack to Desired lbs. saw a huge collection of spices as well.
The only downside was it was a bit chaotic as lanes, checkout adds to the chaos as well. The freezer unit looked very outdated.the lanes are also labeled and is pretty confusing to find something.

Just explored the Japanese garden. It’s a pretty small area and feels to made up and not natural. There aren’t any signs to know about the plants/trees around.
We did find parking very easily. Felt the 10$ pp entry fee was a lot given the area of the garden and pretty much nothing to do

Based on prior reviews was really excited to checkout these place but was really disappointed.
Food was pretty mediocre. Vada pav(a bit expensive at 10$ for 2 small ones) was very burnt and had no taste. They did not add any fry chutney to the pav which is standard for a vada pav.
Mango lassi tasted a lot like the readymade mango pulp cans.
Malai kofta and bhel puri were Better than the rest
Restrooms weren’t clean.

Place wasn’t crowded and we were seated quickly(party of 8). Food does come
Out pretty quickly. Got he karari romali, full
Chicken tikka, cheese spring dosa, garlic naan and paneer tawa. In general the food was good. Just felt paneer tawa wasn’t as spicy as general medium spicy would taste. Curry portion sizes are good for two people.

The crown and pedestal tickets are booked out beyond a month. Got the regular island visit tickets. They have great frequency of boats to and from the island. Didn’t have to wait much either way
