Very nice meal here for the first time yesterday. Staff were attentive and friendly, food was very authentic, location very handy for Kings Cross. Only minor criticism was that it was a bit noisy and I had trouble hearing my companions but this seems a common feature of dining in London these days. Overall a very good experience and I would come here again.
