    Food overcooked, and over oily. Extremely noisy and waiters/waitresses keep asking what you’d like to eat despite telling the first few that you’re waiting for something before eating.

    I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the warm welcome and thoughtful hospitality my wife and I received during our recent visit for iftar, which also happened to be my birthday. My wife had arranged the evening with your team, and we were truly grateful that you reserved such a well-suited table for us. It made the occasion feel very special and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The buffet-style dinner was outstanding, with an impressive variety of dishes. We particularly enjoyed the beautifully prepared curries and breyani, which were full of flavour and clearly made with great care. The wide selection of beverages was also remarkable and added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. We also greatly appreciated the availability of the prayer facility, which was both thoughtful and very convenient during iftar. All in all, it was a wonderful birthday experience and a memorable evening for us. Thank you to the entire team for your excellent service and hospitality. We certainly look forward to visiting again and bringing along more of our family and friends next time. Warm regards, Fuad Floris

    The policy surrounding having to pay full price for a 1 year old that ate almost nothing needs to be looked at and taken away as my daughter barely ate. The food was also 30 mins late.
