Customer Reviews
We recently visited for lunch on a Monday, and the place was almost empty. The service was excellent; our waiter listened to our choices and offered some suggestions. We ordered soup, a Bruschetta platter for a starter, and Thai green curry with steamed rice. The food was delicious. The venue itself is charming, and even on a hot afternoon, it felt cool, probably due to its proximity to the beach. Overall, it was a lovely experience!
The experience comes no where near to the cost, nothing seems to be good in terms of both food and service. Have ordered cheesy French fries which is so dry and not cheesy at all, olives on pizza are stale and the base of pizza not even near to soft or fluffy, and toppings are not spread all over the pizza(what's the point of ordering mutiple topping pizza). Black magic is not worth the cost, steak paneer kebab is so unpalatable. The parking area is grubby and tough to enter. Overall it is a disappointing experience, hopefully this review is considered.
I had a terrible experience dining in with my office colleagues on August 28, 2024. There were around 7 people in our group. We ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters, but unfortunately, they were not prepared fresh. Instead, every dish was oven-heated, resulting in a horrible taste. Even after requesting to have the dishes reheated, they were served the same way. The main course was a complete waste of money. I have decided that I will never visit this place again. I would say soup was little okay compared to all the dishes.
What I like about this restaurant is the good environment good food and good service. I love the comfort of dining at night
