The food was absolutely delicious, the service friendly and excellent. I loved it so much that I booked again that Saturday to bring my husband. We booked early before going to a movie and the restaurant was already busy with a great buzz. The staff were so friendly, helpful and so good. The food, again, was superb. I will be back again and again.

There were 5 people in our group each person had a starter and we shared one veg and one mixed mazza for mains. There was plenty for everyone. Really delicious food. Attentive, friendly staff too. Planning my next visit already.
