We chose the feed me now option, which consisted of 2 small, 2 large and 1 side. Everything was amazing and delicious, especially the Massaman Lamb curry was amazing with melt in your mouth meat. The service was amazing as well, we did not wait long for the food at all and we barely were able to finish a drink before we were asked if we would like more. Best food we had in a while! We will be back!

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.
