First time trying this place. Super impressed with service.Greeted to feel like some one special. Admitaly the place was not that busy as it was a miserable night outside. Stated with the salt and pepper prawns, I chose the mixed grill. VERY generous serving and I am a big fellow!All was great except the lamb cutlet that was out of this world. At least an inch thick and just nice and pink in the middle. Not expensive but food and service on another level.

We were a mixed table of vegan and non vegan diners . The starter course of jerusalem artichoke soup was outstanding. The flavour profile was complex and we all agreed it was nothing like we've ever had before ! The other courses were very good too especially the vegan ones. I think Chef Saleh's strength is really in his vegetarian creations. The flavours and textures were very well balanced and unique. It left us meat eaters eyeing off our vegan friends' dishes. Service was warm and welcoming which always makes a special dining occasion even better !
