Food was amazing and good service until we had our bill and recognized that we had been served and charged for wine which was approximately £9.00 more expensive than the one we ordered . We were told that we had to pay for the more expensive bottle even though this was a restaurant error . Very disappointing as this was not our fault

Lovely restaurant and food. We were offered a quieter spot which was great as my friend and I were catching up after quite a long time. Azeem provided very good service.
