I love this restaurant, it’s cozy and always buzzing. The staff are attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and there’s a good selection of drinks. It tends to be cold in there so I always bring a jacket or shawl.

9/10 the location is not updated on Apple Maps so we was lost for about 5 minutes but once we got the correct address perfect! The scene is beautiful! The DJ was on fire with the prefect combo upbeat hip/hop and R&B hits. The FOOD and Drinks were Amazing and portions matched the price. I was worried about the hookah making the place hot but it wasn’t. Will definitely be back.
