    I was extremely disappointed in the quality and taste of most of the dishes, the meat that gets cut for you was dry, the other meat in a sauce was flavorless, the rice by the seafood section was burnt, the mussels were overcooked. I came mainly for prawns just to be extremely disappointed, it was completely overcooked to the point that it was stiff and dry and and smothered in an overpowering masala basting. Worse of all the prawns had an ammonia smell to it which to my knowledge is a smell that indicates that the prawns are old, etc.

    The value for money was very good, nice selection of food. The curry is top notch and the meat was well prepared. Please add more seafood to the collection if possible, then it would be an even better dining experience
