    I went to the OSR bar for my birthday with a few of my friends. And they were so accommodating and went above and beyond. Our main waitress Tia, went above and beyond. She had great knowledge of the food and drinks, always had a smile on her face and really took pride in her Job. I have to also say all the safe was on point. The music was vibes, took me back to my secondary school days. The food!!! Was it, it was well cooked flavourful, portion sized more than enough. I had the GOAT and it was lovely perfectly done. The drink was beautiful also. Loved my experience, would visit again

    Had a fantastic meal last night. Booked late. Really warm greeting from the friendly staff and were seated overlooking the kitchen which was great and gave us a chance to see the beautifully prepared dishes. Our waiter helped with some recommendations from the small but tantalising menu. We enjoyed the really flavoursome chicken wings and pulled lamb croquettes for starters and two had the jumbo prawns (delicious) and the other two the oxtail (succulent). All presented very well. A Highly recommend this place and there are some great pubs within two minutes walk too. All very laid back and not rushed. Would definitely return.
