Service was really really bad, food mediocre and we were overcharged on two separate items. Will definitely not return.

Very tight place,you basically sit on each other . Service is excellent.

Enthusiastic and darling owners serve outstanding food! Deliciously spiced and perfectly cooked. So good!
