We went for Valentine’s Day and on the table was a little note and 2 heart chocolates, a nice little thought. The food is fantastic, very generous serves. We both had Pad Thai, one prawn and one beef. The prawn dish had a very generous serving of prawns and the beef was juicy and tender. The roti was also terrific. The wait staff are lovely, moving around efficiently, quickly and quietly. We will definitely be back.

Visited late Saturday afternoon with hubby for some chilled drinks, found it a great venue, fab cocktails & beers, and great nachos! Loved the tunes, although as the indoor area was at times competing with a function and live outdoor music, it became quite noisy at times. Overall fun vibe and will be back!
