We tried several curries we hadn’t had before and were very pleased with them — they were excellent. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the flavours of the spices were superb. The staff were very helpful, and the restaurant was clean with some interesting decor. Well worth a visit.A service charge of 10% is added to the bill

Enjoyed a wonderful spread of Nyonya dishes — the special-taste prawns were aromatic and well-seasoned, the fried rice was delicious, and the egg omelette along with mixed vegetables added a homely touch. Overall, a comforting and satisfying meal. Service was warm and attentive, and the cosy deco made the whole experience even better.

A great spot for local and authentic food. The dishes were full of flavour well prepared and tasted genuinely local which made the experience even better. The atmosphere felt relaxed and true to its roots and the food was the real highlight. A solid choice if you are looking for something authentic and satisfying.
