    Unfortunately the chicken tikka and butter chicken are not nut friendly which is what we really wanted to try!! We had the lamb kebab and left since we couldn’t eat what we wanted. We were also seated in a very overcrowded area with people elbow distance to our left and right. Not very comfortable but definitely didn’t give this place the right chance!

    Fab food and service as always but I can't believe how much they have increased their prices!! Always went here cause good value but now seems like they are the same as every other restaurant in Dublin.. certainly won't be in the forefront of my mind now when I'm booking a restaurant and looking for value for money..nice touch of offering a drink on the house tho..

    The food and service were good, however, we had to wait outside for a long time for our table even with a reservation. It was fine as the weather was good.
