Service and ambience were good, however, there was a "techinical issue" in the kitchen, and we were waiting almost an hour for our entrees, which really let the experience down. Great range of Asian favourites - the best of Indonesian, Indian, Chinese, etc. Food was very tasty with fantastic flavours, but unfortunately served luke warm. A bit disappointed, but will give it another chance based on quality of food options, service and location.

The atmosphere was amazing, as well as the food. Only one small problem was when we were leaving the ground wasn't level or slippery coming down from the stairs and my dear friend literally fell on her hip and is still very sore and recovering from the fall. Also, another friend nearly fell too. So I would just like to say that the evening was great up until the end.
