What people say, in short
Most diners recommend Tapori, and when people compare it with Daru and Chai Pani several put it first. One diner calls the fried cauliflower a favorite, and another prefers the creativity of its drinks. One diner likes the vada pav and achar martini but found the other dishes unmemorable, and one who went soon after it opened was not that impressed. One commenter calls it overrated, and one says prices at all three of those spots are a bit wild.
