    My family and I enjoyed every bit of the evening Thank you for the excellent service and food was delicious.. The mutton curry and prawns was a hit for us.. Maybe consider a separate grill for non beef ( just lamb )as some religions don't eat beef. Or mix beef with lamb especially. So people like us can visit more offer and pass the word around of how wonderful the evening was.
