One of our favourite local spots always very good food and quite reasonably priced in view of the quality. Service is always fast and friendly. On this occasion they took the trouble to call me back and let me know the table was available earlier than the booking following my earlier request.

We went for a tasting menu, it was absolutely stunning. Every dish, every mouthful was am explosion of flavours. It was my husband's 40th, they also included a lovely dessert with a candle at the end. They were incredibly sweet. The waitress who served us, unfortunately I do not recall her name was so pleasant. Loved the ambience, food, and service.

A friend reccomend this spot in Paddington basin. Had chicken karagee to start and it was a great way to begin our dinner. My partner had the Ayllu platter and I had the pollito a la brasa. Japanese meet Peruvian cuisine and it is Delicious. The dessert was amazing! Pink prosecco was good as well. Speedy service with good recommendations from our server. A true dining experience.
