    I honestly did not enjoy the vegetarian food that I ate. I suggest that you relook at your vegetarian meals at least have more options. Another thing I believe that to give a waiter a tip should come out of a customer’s generosity and happiness of the service the one received not the restaurant to decide to how should I give cause that is unfair to the customer. For instance at garage petrol attenders are paid by petrol station and customer may give a tip if that well and good to do so, not charging clients for tips whilst they may not have received a good service. There are people who may come to your place with a very limited budget then your request put a big tip for a waitress who may not fully satisfied the customer, so does that mean the target of of your customers is only affluent people? Or everyone who may wish to experience your place but cannot afford to pay big tips ! (Of course I do afford but I am bringing this in your table to at least think about it). Best wishes

    I have been visiting the establishment since 2021 and i have tried many of the dishes. This time around (2026) I really liked the new menu changes (effected by the new ownership). This is definitely step in the correct direction.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere and being at the venue, which was pleasant and welcoming. However, the food was disappointing. The steak was overly salty, the chips were hard, and the rice was undercooked. While the setting itself was enjoyable, the overall dining experience was let down by the poor quality of the dishes.
