Incredible options on early bird and staff were happy to substitute. Great prices, GORGEOUS and authentic food, old school service of free poppadoms and chutneys and an after 8 with the bill! Cosy throwback vibes. Particularly with the staff. Service this attentive, efficient and accommodating is rare. Special shout out to our waitress who is a delight.

This was my first time here and I'm delighted, together with my friends! Everything was for 5 stars!!! I ordered for the starter lollypops, which were delicious, but the ribs with corn and sweet potato fries were 😲 👌👌 The service was absolutely great and friendly, all the time checking on us. Alex, Fabiana and Romi (if I remember right) you are stars, and thank you for nice dinner and welcome atmosphere 😊 And the last thing, I really enjoyed in the music👍😉 I will be back here for sure!
