They have expanded to the adjoining property, the ground floor is much cleaner and now the drinks are very good value for money. Even the foreign spirits are priced for 50 ml unlike at almost everywhere else where the pricing is for almost invisible 25 ml shots. Even wine by the bottle is extremely good value although the range is limited to the very bottom tier of wines. As they have draft beer, they don't carry large bottles or cans of Local beer. The chef is at hand to answer your questions about the food or to get recommendations. That is a very good thing, rather than talking to waiters who are clueless about what really happens in the kitchen. Deep fried items are OK but be cautious with the curries as they are extremely spicy. Don't expect fancy food, just street renditions of popular dishes. The service is pleasant and fast but amateurish and basic. They haven't even heard of chilled glasses or cloth napkins. During the day the air conditioning is totally inadequate and its very hot inside. The balcony is even worse, and dusty and noisy as well. But all told, this is a easy going and welcoming place to chill. A stark contrast to the over priced, un-airconditioned, stffl and unwelcoming Bay-leaf restaurant just round the corner. Also watch out for the menu prices. They aren't real. The bill comes with 30% more.
