Food was good value for the price but let down by lack of decor and lack of drinks available. Wouldn’t go back.
Great food. Attentive service. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!
What a great find! Lovely and welcoming and the Caribbean food was delicious. My husband and I both had the mutton curry with plantain. The meat was so tender and the spices were blended really well to make this a really tasty meal. We had cocktails too which were very nice. Dominic who served was very attentive and Mario the Chef came out to see us later on in the evening. After our meal Dominic played guitar and we all joined in the singing. Great atmosphere. I hope we manage to go back again soon in the not too distant future.
Amazing food, with plenty of options to suit all dietary requirements. Allergens were listed on the menu, not a little sheet kept behind the counter like many other places, which was brilliant. Lovely staff, and a great atmosphere.
