Just had a very pleasant evening at Chakra, the first time I have been there this year and it was as good as I remembered. The food and service were both very good. The decor isn't very lush and the tables could be a bit bigger to better accommodate the dishes we ordered but these are observations and didn't in any way harm our enjoyment.

A little expensive but being someone who has had a catering business and has cooked for a double Michelin star chef I have to say that the food was amazing and cannot wait to bring my family for a double birthday celebration on the 9th. The food was fresh and piping hot, extremely flavoursome and beautifully presented. The prawns were just so tender and cooked to perfection. A huge thank you to the team also, so polite and professional. I cannot stop bragging about this restaurant to everyone. Please keep to these standards as they are truly deserving of recognition. Well done to you all. Jaz
