Great food and I liked the atmosphere in the room, nice to know there was an opportunity to have shisha. As for the service, the manager was great and he was professional however the waitresses felt like they’ve not worked in hospitality before unless they were new to the role then I would take this back. They weren’t very pleasant, and when we needed someone there was nobody around for example we needed knives and folks and we waited a long time for that. Other than that the food was good
