It seemed like the staff were a bit overwhelmed because it was so busy, and we had to wait during a long power outage. The signature cocktails are really tasty and they're available during happy hour, although they're not very strong. There's a nightclub upstairs playing loud music.

We ordered the “seasonal green salad” to start which had no greens, it was maybe a decorative lettuce with a bunch of bell peppers on a duper sweet mango sauce.

This dish was disgusting we couldn’t eat it, it was extremely sweet and salty at the same time as if they had literally dropped the sugar and the salt in it. They didn’t charge us for the later. Finally the staff was very disengaged, we had to chase them to get their attention to order food and then of course to complain.

There were limited choices, but we ended up getting a burger and a spicy curry. read more There were limited choices, but we ended up getting a burger and a spicy curry.

Very good location especially for sunset. Really enjoyed the veg curry.
