    A fabulous experience for a very worthwhile cause. Students, teacher, ambience and especially the food were all top notch. Food quality was superb with perfect choice of produce and combinations. Students were great. The ambience was lovely and the retro carpet and lighting added a beautiful touch which all added up to a beautiful friends evening.

    The food was absolutely lovely, especially for its price. Our waiter was a bit nervy and hard to communicate with, but it was his first day, so I can’t blame him. Overall, this is a nice spot and a great experience

    Tried the HR Cafe&Bar and was blown away. The steak was juicy and perfectly cooked. My friend had their special butter chicken. Nothing like we’ve tried at other restaurants. Fresh and no orange colours!!! Really authentic.Never thought I’d find both on the same menu but it works. Chill vibe, great service, and food that hits all the right notes. Definitely coming back!
