    Good. HEAVENS. We had made a trip up from Plymouth and now I'm irritated that it's gonna have to be a bi-monthly trip just for this place. We arrived on a quiet and quaint Monday afternoon. Seated quickly and the hostess absolutely knew her stuff in terms of cocktails. Took into account my tastes and matched it to the ideal cocktail like a cocktail cupid. Every cocktail packed a proper punch, but it was still delicious and the flavours weren't overpowered by the alcohol. Anyway, partner ordered three small plates. WHICH WEREN'T SMALL AT ALL. Good lord, they were generous servings at worst. I stole a piece of her Korean chicken and there was that much I don't think she even noticed. I ordered the pork belly kebab and it's presentation was matched with its taste in terms of quality. How pork can be melt in your mouth is beyond my culinary understanding but their chefs absolutely mastered it. Again, pleasing aesthetically and to the pallet. I will absolutely go again, heck I already want to go again as their dessert menu was STACKED. Alas, I was too full, so I'm already planning on what to have next time.

    HONEST REVIEW! Good points: Our table was ready when we arrived at 3pm Bad points: 7 of us were squashed into a booth only suitable for 5 people The toilets are like a swamp. Men’s was even worse, 1inch of water on the floor! And the whole of the bathroom stank of piss Once seated it took 20 minutes for our drink order to be taken - they didn’t have the rose we wanted. It then took another 20 minutes for us to be told they didn’t have the wine we ordered however did have the rose we originally wanted. Food ordered after 30 minutes of arriving - 15 minutes later they didn’t have any lamb kebabs so 2 of us had to reorder different meals We could see one of the chefs turning the meat on the grill with his hands. No tongs etc Raw chicken hanging kebab Everyone had cold chips Asked for drinks with no ice, drink came with ice More drinks ordered - 20 minutes later we were told they had no rose left. The manager, who was fresh out of secondary school didn’t know what to do or say. She was just as horrified as we were. The longer we stayed the worse it got. 7 of us ended up only paying £10 each due to all of the freebies. Wouldn’t visit again

    It was my and my partners first time in this place. We went there for my birthday meal. We really wanted to try hanging kebabs which were really nice. We were really please with starters as well. The service was great and fast. The waitresses were making sure that we are happy with everything and if we would like any more drinks. When we got to dessert , unfortunately we didn't like it. Overall I would go there again for drinks starters and main food. I would happy to recommend this place to someone else.
