Hot Breads

Avoid buying from this place completely-​as they sell stale food (²⁄₃ days old) and has fungus too.
Unhealthy & unhygienic quality-​causing health issues.
I have experienced twice, and my recent purchase of puffs veg/​non veg had fungus on it.
The store management is aware of it and still they are selling the same unhealthy food.
There are many complaints & negative food inspection reports out there — do not buy from such cheap vendors who charge high for brand/​franchise rates — but still sell old stale n food with fungus.

This review is specifically for cakes. I love the fact that Thilak (the baker) can customize the cakes to anyone’s needs. For my kids birthday I wanted animal shaped cakes and he was able to do excellent job (images attached). Quite a few people in our group like to have eggless cake and this place gives the choice of having the type of cake I want along with being eggless.

And the food sucks!

Very bad place to eat. Ordered couple of dishes and all were very bad in taste and have to return few of them since they we’re inedible.
Waste of money and rotten food. Saw couple of cockroaches on the restaurants wall not sure how many of them were inside the kitchen.
Waste of money never ever will go there.

Went last week for biscuits, pastry, and bread … all were horrible, really bad taste and finally had to throw.

Ordered and paid for 5 puff for togo. But they packed only 4! Felt cheated. Please check the Togo orders before you leave.

Greatly disappointed with the taste especially comparing it with its chain in Chicago. Could fill the stomach with no appeasement to the taste buds.

Had Biryani it was awful :(ambience is below average… they have just 30−40% of items mentioned on menu. I been here on Monday… may be as its Monday it might be like that… not sure but heard this place s good ony on weekends… lot of oil in food… I would recommend only bakery & sweet items here!!!

Maybe I just didn’t know what to expect. I also hate to say there was a language barrier so I’m not even sure what I ordered. I was taked into a ‘combo’ (which I found out later didn’t include a soda… which they had… but some type of orange drink). Never-​the-​less, I tried my meal (I think it was called ‘chicken brianni?) and it wasn’t for me. I paid $ 10 (and admit that I wasn’t even sure why I had ordered), but ate about ¹⁄₅ of it and left. I went to another place and spent more money for lunch. The service was very lacking as I couldn’t get explained to me what I was ordering (I should have left) and it took over 20 minutes to even get it (they weren’t busy). So, take my review with a grain of salt. I’m not sure what I had, but I didn’t like it, didn’t like the service and won’t be back. Hopefully you’ll have a better experience. I rarely walk away from food I’ve paid for, but had to in this case.
