    The curry was delicious, the pad Thai was decent, and the spring rolls were disappointing! The service was the worst part of the experience. They took 10 minutes to come to us, hurried us through ordering, then took 15 minutes to bring us our beer. When we asked they were very snippy about it. I hate leaving bad reviews but the expectation from past reviews no where met our reality.

    Such an untraditional Xmas lunch for us but did not disappoint- food came out quickly, was delicious and well presented and staff friendly and accomodating - yummy cocktails a bonus.

    Absolutely amazing experience, great service, I was on a date with my girlfriend and asked if they could hide a note for her when I booked and they very cutely wrote note on a napkin for me. It was way beyond what I expected and the regrets to us by name and they made sure everything was great. The food was incredible and I will definitely be going back. Best place I’ve been to in a long time.

    The pad Thai was very tasty. And kept hot by the heated cast iron serving dish. Though be careful not to burn your hand, like I did several times. And there was a buzzing, warm ambiance in the little restaurant.
