When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

Was our first time at Lulu's and a lovely experience. We were greeted and seated by a lovely young man and entered an interesting and beautifully decorated seating area. The service was prompt and staff very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent from the first mouthful, tasty, different and very well present. A really good meal in an unusual and exciting setting. We will definitely be back again.
