    We visited for a casual dinner with friends, overall it was a pleasant experience. The food was good, though I found the curry fish head a bit on the salty side. The standout dishes were the crispy fried chicken and the grilled eggplant, both were excellent and worth ordering. The service was impeccable and truly enhanced our dining experience. Although we didn’t sample their renowned crabs this time, we’ll definitely try them on our next visit.
