    We had a lovely meal, the only reason I didn’t give five stars, is because they are super efficient staff, however they were coming over to our table every few minutes to remove a glass, top up a glass, remove a plate etc. it didn’t give us the privacy or ambience to sit and relax with our food without being interrupted or reached across to collect glasses etc.

    I was really looking forward to dining here, and it certainly didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic. They made every guest feel valued, as though they were greeting someone they already knew. The cocktails were excellent. I would highly recommend the Old Fashioned and the Mango Cooler. When it came to the menu, there were so many tempting options that it was difficult to choose. We eventually opted for a sharing starter, and every meat dish on it was outstanding. For the main course, I had the lamb biryani served with dahl, which was absolutely beautiful. As a very fussy meat eater, I can honestly say I couldn't fault the quality of the food. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The atmosphere was vibrant and bustling, yet the staff still managed to give each table individual attention. I particularly liked that the chef personally presented the food and the barman delivered the drinks. It was lovely to see everyone playing a part in making the evening special. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we will definitely be returning.
