Been here many times before and it never fails to impress. Fabulous food - the pigeon starter, the tandoori paneer and the pork belly were all divine. Our waitress was attentive yet unobtrusive yet warm and charming. We will be back soon.

Great service from the time we walked ok the door. We did the Tasting menu with wine pairings and consider it one of our top 5 meals of all time. Could not be more impressed with the chef, sommelier and entire staff for this excellent evening.

Great venue and good ambience. Food was reallypoor the Food flavours were good but the food was practically cold when it arrived, the portions of pilau rice were miniscule, meat was slightly undercooked and the mixed greens were watery and tasteless. Give the price range this was not acceptable. Really disappointed

Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff were very nice, just waited for a very long time before we could order, and then food came out at odd times and with very long delays between certain dishes.
