SUMMARY
The Indian flavors and spices in the dishes are limited. The concept is awesome and Chef Garima is trying very hard although some dishes need improvement. Gaa provides a fun dining experience with two great tasting menus. Neighbor and mentor Gaggan present a stiff competitor and it will take Chef Garima a lot of work to compete with him, but she has all it takes to reverse the situation.
