We travelled from the Uk and had my wife’s birthday here. I had rebooked a table after it being recommended by local colleagues. It was an absolutely amazing and memorable experience. My wife, family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little nervous it wouldn’t live up to expectations but the staff, servers, music and food were second to none. Tasty food and drinks alongside such a superb band in the unique surrounding. A truly exceptional experience and we all loved it. They made my wife’s birthday on to remember in such a unique setting.

Delicious. Eater wasn't wrong. We went early, before the crowds arrived, and had amazing service. Tamarind ribs were outstanding. The restaurant space is huge, but didn't feel cavernous and impersonal bc it was broken up into sections.
