    We went for brunch and ordered the vegan oysters mushrooms and donuts. The donuts were hard as a rock un-edible. We told the server but they said that's how that batch was and couldn't be remade. If that is the case then don't serve it. The oyster mushrooms were good too bad the donuts were bad.

    Food was beyond expectation, all our dishes were absolutely delicious. Ambiance was perfect for us, it was so well set up and energetic. Love the banyan tree in the middle of the restaurant. Would definitely go again and am looking forward to trying their brunch menu next.

    Firstly the food and drinks are amazing. However we went to brunch at 1:15. Brunch is served until 2. They were out of several menu items. We felt rushed to order and it seemed more frantic than relaxing. Our waiter, although nice, seemed very stressed. The takeaway is go early for brunch. We’ve had dinner there and brunch there at an earlier time and it was great.
