Service was good as server checked on us frequently. Food came hot and fresh. Portions are big which I do like. Meat and rice was over salted but overall good food. Price was fair due to amount of food served. They didn’t have a DJ so they played on a laptop which was good as there wasn’t a lot of people inside anyway. I would come back.
