If you’re after an authentic dining experience, look no further. We’ve been visiting Atta for over six years, and every experience has been exceptional. From the food to the waitstaff and hosts, everything has been nothing short of amazing. We’ve dined there as a family and also for many of our date nights. The consistency and well-crafted food are always on point—we often order from the Essentials menu, right through to desserts. Looking forward to our next dining experience!

Bhang is my regular neighbourhood Indian restaurant. The menu is a lot more varied than most Indian restaurants around here and the cocktails are creative. The food is good, the staff friendly and helpful and the prices reasonable. What more would you want?
