Food was tasty but every dish was luke warm when it arrived. The service was slow with drinks when the restaurant wasn't busy so perhaps this was why the food was on the cold side. First drink poured was also very short which we didn't realise until the second was received. Overall, would try it again!

We were excited to try the new kid on the Church St block, as good eateries are generally pretty lacking in the area. Service and ambience were good, however, there was a "techinical issue" in the kitchen, and we were waiting almost an hour for our entrees, which really let the experience down. Great range of Asian favourites - the best of Indonesian, Indian, Chinese, etc. Food was very tasty with fantastic flavours, but unfortunately served luke warm. A bit disappointed, but will give it another chance based on quality of food options, service and location.

I really enjoyed the evening with my friends. The atmosphere was amazing, as well as the food. Only one small problem was when we were leaving the ground wasn't level or slippery coming down from the stairs and my dear friend literally fell on her hip and is still very sore and recovering from the fall. Also, another friend nearly fell too. So I would just like to say that the evening was great up until the end.
