Considering that it was my daughter’s 25th birthday and she’s not able to have dairy & it offered more options for those type of people. And she was overall very happy . X

5 stars all around The service was impeccable, attentive, friendly staff members who couldn't do enough The food was absolutely divine, (the dynamite prawns lived up to their name , and the lamb chops were seasoned and cooked to perfection). The decor was stimulating, fresh, modern and classy, and the shisha was of premium brand. It's somewhere I will most definitely visit again with friends, on a date and possibly my children on a Friday. Thank you for this wonderful experience Koko!! Charm
