Oh, and the cocktails are the next stage. my best choice for drinks or dinner in the city. will definitely be back and forth.

Maybe they'll tell us before we order? we had a nice night, but I don't feel compelled to go back. the very small menu is disappointing. overall, glad that we had been, had a nice night, can see why it is popular. but maybe it's not for us?

Great warm cosy ambience (it was winter then), the waitress was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service in terms of recommendations and serving. We tried a range of food from their roti and...curry to lamb. All very delicious. Would highly recommend.

The restaurant was dimly lit and fairly quiet, despite being rather full, which was perfect for a romantic evening. Food was really delicious, although the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side. All in all, however, a fantastic experience and we’ll definitely be back!
