The Cafe is located on a golf course. The menu was extensive and made up for the lacking ambience. The place also had a kids corner with some toys and kept kuttyma busy and entertained.<\/p>\n
We tried their bruschetta (excellent), mango macadamia salad (frozen mangoes not completely defrosted was a major disappointment in the otherwise lovely salad) and the curry-of-the-day Indian butter chicken with poppodams (how can I resist such a temptation?)<\/p>\n
The food was not the greatest but the menu was exciting. I may head back to try more of the exciting menu soon.<\/p>\n
