    Group of 6 we had a lovely time, staff was very Helpful. The food was good, but portions was small. I had Suya Lamb 2 Skewers & the seabream fish & jollof rice tasted nice. It would of been nice if the sauces were free, well at least the first. Thank you owner for bringing extra sauce for my Friend’s chicken. The highlight for me is the ambience & the choice to dance, which I did. It is worth going once, but please save your money to go & treat yourself.

    A popular restaurant, our 1st time as a family trying hotpot, where you have a hot broth in the middle of the table and order platters of meat & veg to cook in it. Very fun as a family activity and great place to bring picky teenagers. Staff checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed or if we wanted to order more. There is a strong smell of lamb throughout the restaurant that took 2 days to air out of my jacket, also the floor was wet by the end of the evening from the steam from all the hotpots, even though the staff was doing its best to mitigate, so take care when walking.
