Great GF food and knowledge. Staff were great, although the manager could have helped with the drink service instead of sitting down to chat to a new employee. The young girl was flat chat making cocktails and serving drinks on her own with several tables full.

We went there to celebrate our friend's birthday around 7 pm. The staff were super nice and friendly. I'm a vegetarian, and they tried to fulfil my requirements as I wanted the rice bowl without salmon. The food was so good; we loved the tacos so much. The turmeric and coconut rice was the best! We will definitely come back!
