It's in a great location. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food was good; we loved the duck and the dim sum. It was the perfect place to catch up as friends and share dishes while chatting.

We had a delicious meal and the serving staff were lovely. Please extend your vouchers expiry - I appreciated you honouring mine but a 3 months expiry is ridiculous for a high end restaurant and the conversation we had to have tarnished the evening a little. We will return as we like the food and service and have enjoyed meals in the past here:.

We loved the main course dishes. I had the halibut (Samundri Khazana) my wife had a lamb shank (Gosht Kalimirch) dish along with a, both were extremely flavoursome., I would definitely order those again. I normally have an appetizer before the main course, however with the small selection nothing took my fancy. On a high note the chefs recommend Banana Halwa Cherry tart is highly recommended.
