Nice place. The food was delicious, I would suggest to definitely try their Boba Tea, my personal favourite is the ‘PS I love you’ Boba tea, even though I felt that quantity is a bit less as within one slurp, the tea was over and they put in too many ice cubes to fill up the cup. I also liked the loaded fries, and Thai fried rice (recommend you to skip if you don’t like Basil).

These guys know their stuff. Excellent food and even better customer service. I usually order online and the way they handle queries and attend to orders is quick and professional. Ordering food is seamless and delivers within 30 minutes. It's not always the case that restaurants in Kohima provide excellent customer service, and I appreciate that.
