Went to the Manarva restaurant for Christmas brunch. Service from Fahim and Tawanda was outstanding. Wide selection of food. Disappointed that sparkling beverages weren't included in the alcoholic drinks package. Table location wasn't great. Booked late but some tables were empty.

Really friendly staff. They took care of us when we got food poisoning. Shishir did as great job keeping the place clean. Gopal even went and bought medication for us on his on dime when we couldn’t leave the room and made us feel like they really value their guests.
