"The food is a variety, and can't get any Tikka better. Variety makes you go over the menu a few times, but once you settle on your order, never disappointing. I personally think the staff are overworked, even though it's just after opening time, that's evident from the nonchalant attitude they give you. If I didn't have to go there for their good tasty food, I wont go there at all."

"So, I finally did it! I went to the SECOND WIFE, only beacuse my WIFE felt for a nice mutton curry.... Was I disappointed...? NO!!! Not in a single bit... Or bite in this case! SIMPLY SIMPLY AWESOME! My wife absolutely loved it! Finger licking good! Since we were looking for something SPICY, the friendly and understanding gentleman recommended ANGARA MUTTON CURRY ( a North Indian style) and WOW!! IT WAS CRAZY DELICIOUS... brought back memories when we were in New Delhi and ate at a restaurant in Gurgaon. Well done Second Wife!! We are definitely coming back..."
