We were greeted with open arms thanks to Fletch!!!! Very attentive service. The food was reasonably priced, not a generous serve, but suited the volume of food presented. The only mishap was that we ordered a bowl of plain rice to have with our meals. We had finished all our meals and the rice was an no show.

Self ordering from an extensive menu can be challenging, although the illustrated menu helps. Waiters were either scarce or hard to call over.
