    I went yesterday for dinner on my wife’s birthday. Had already informed the restaurant about arranging a small decor and a cake through open tables app. Nothing was arranged and the staff seemed to be not aware of anything. I got late for 10 minutes because I was finding it hard to locate the restaurant. I booked a top floor table and when I went there my table was not available and was given for somebody else. Later I was offered table on the ground floor in the corner. And the staff at the front desk said to me it was removed for bookings a long time ago. Food was fabulous but attentiveness of the staff was below average.

    If I had known it was in a food court in a shopping centre I would not have booked the table. I am so glad that I didn’t, as we would have missed out on a nice meal. The host Tomaz was fantastic and had us laughing all night. Great value for money and really tasty food. Only down side was lack of choice when it came to alcoholic drinks.

    We have ordered fried rice and pad Thai which are very nice! We asked for the most spicy level and indeed it was extremely hot but yummy! The guy who served us was excellent ! Luckily we have made booking in advance and was given a very nice seating in a Friday busy night.

    The food is delicious l.The restaurant is very nice.The only thing is,the service is slow.I stood for a good few minutes,waiting to be seated.The place was quiet.One girl was doing cutlery as I stood.If I hadn't of booked a table with my friend I probably would have walked out.Also slow to take plates away and offer dessert menu or tea. Not sure I'll go back.

    Service was not good. We were ignored for quite a while after being seated. Food came out almost 10 minutes apart. We were never sure who our server was.
