From the get-go we were welcomed by the staff who were friendly, quick and attentive. We didn’t have a reservation but they made space for us. The staff have excellent knowledge about the menu as they try the dishes themselves in order to recommended dishes to customers. This is something we found helpful as it was our first time. The food was very high-standard and each dish was perfect. The fusion and blend of flavours across each dish were perfectly executed. We ordered the pumpkin dish, artichoke dish (highly recommend if you love artichoke), wagyu beef skewer and the lamb sharing dish. The lamb was AMAZING, very tender, juicy, seasoned and cooked perfectly, served with a pickle and sauce that complimented it well. We really love lamb and it is hard to find a restaurant that cooks lamb so well. We wished we got the larger portion! I had a cocktail which had rhubarb and champagne which was exactly what i was looking for. It was refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet and bubbly. The lady at the bar, Tanya, was able to tailor the drink to my preferences by asking whether I liked something sweet, tangy etc. and knew exactly what to recommend. This drink successfully accompanied every dish. We left full and feeling content. The price was reasonable for two people. We are very pleased with our experience and we will definitely be revisiting frequently and recommending to others. Thank you for a great dining experience!

We came here for dinner and loved it! The food was delicious and the service was great - especially Hardeep who was our waiter and was super friendly, giving us lots of suggestions on what to order and what dishes & cocktails he likes! Our favourite dishes were the egg curry masala (my favourite, I LOVED THIS!!), the karwari soft shell crab & the wagyu beef kebab skewer skewers The cocktails were also really delicious, especially the raw mango pisco sour! A bit in the pricier side - but will definitiely be returning when in the mood for a really enjoyable tasty dinner!

Siddhi went above and beyond to make my mom’s 70th birthday special. Her recommendations were on point and the dessert surprise was a delight! We left full and happy. Will be back.
