A fab Thai restaurant with some great vegan options. All the dishes were fresh and flavoursome, and great for sharing. Not cheap but well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Felt overpriced for what we got. Food was a little slow and didn't move the chaos of small kids running around nearly tripping up the serving staff.
