   The decor and style of the restaurant is nice, but the food is hit and miss. Service was acceptable, but was a little inexperienced. They pitch themselves as slightly more upmarket Indo-Chinese food, and the descriptions sound interesting, but some of the food does not deliver. Their Sweet & Sour Prawns was worse than many local Chinese take aways I've had - overly sweet sauce, and smallish mushy prawns. The Steamed Sea Bream was not very fresh and the sauce bland. However, the Chicken Lollipops were delicious, and the Scallop dish was nice (if a little overflavoured). The cocktail we had was excellent though. Perhaps they should restyle as a cocktail bar with Indo-Chinese snack food rather than a restaurant.

   Had a pleasant experience across all aspects and would definitely return. Good food at a decent price. Recommend the short rib 👍🏼

   This was my first time visiting, and it was slightly confusing the restaurant located downstairs. However, once you descend the stiars. The decor is transformed . The food was great. Our server kamal was discreet and super helpful. We had a girl catch up without being disturbed. The atmosphere was chilled ..loved it

   Everything was great except the mango papaya salad was “off” which was very disappointing!

   Excellent 50% a la carte deal via Open Table. We had a very enjoyable two courses and will definitely be returning. Interesting fusion between Indian and Chinese, which mostly works. We missed out on the short rib which the table next to us said were outstanding. We’ll be back to try them!

    The food was good, chicken lollipops had a great flavour and the lychee panacotta dessert was really refreshing and well presented. Went on a 50% deal so was great value for what we had. But by no means the best Indo-Chinese available in London.
