Instead of having some usual dishes(steak sateh with some fries they have very interesting combinations: steak from kangaroo, bapao bread with crocodile, etc The staff here is super friendly and really knows everything about the dishes they are serving. Also the wines they have are excellent! We decided to take a bottle of an Australian Shiraz and really loved it. Our waiter was happy that we were happy with our choice, and even came back with some other bottles that he could recommend if we liked this wine : The food was just amazing! I started with the steamed bread with a crocodile curry and had the kangaroo steak as the main dish. After the waiter came to take the plates I told him that I just had one remark about the dish: they should be BIGGER : There actually was nothing left on my plate again and I think I even started to take of the top-layer of the stone of the plate because it still had some flavor : The dessert was a Caribbean cheesecake and if it is still on the menu, really can recommend it. Actually used my fingers to get the last bits of taste out of the plate, because it was so good : Because this place has such good food, it is quite busy. Really recommend making a reservation if you want to eat here.
