Every plate was great. The grilled beef on skewers too spicy.

I like the food there, but this time the service was just too slow and we have been waiting for half an hour for the bill after we done eating, which was really a waste of time.

Been here several times. Staff are great and food amazing. Had quite a wait for drinks and food but it was busy with a couple of big parties in. Not the best table as close to an open window so was chilly. But they did close it at my request. AC also made it feel quite cold where we were sat. Loved the fact they now do 4 non alcoholic wines. Bonus
