I truly enjoyed the atmosphere there. Being surrounded by so many Malayalis felt like being back home. Hearing Malayalam on the mic gave me goosebumps, they really succeeded in recreating the authentic Kerala vibe.
The whole ambience reminded me of the ulsava parambu in Kerala. I simply couldn’t get out of the vibe; it was warm, nostalgic, and beautifully organized. I loved spending some “me time” walking around with my loved ones and soaking in the energy.
