    Food was scrumptious. The piano playing in the background was a big cherry on top of the cake. The staff singing for me (my birthday) made my day very special. Saturday evening much more expensive (double)than the Saturday lunch though. Eish!

    Thank you to all the staff. You were amazing. The problem I have is when you make a booking. You don't pick up our calls at the restaurant except the reception for the hotel even if I had paid and you had acknowledged that but you still call me for a proof of payment. I want to be asked where do I want to be sitted because my table was Infront, other than that your food was so good.

    Overpriced restaurant with the starters and dessert menu being underwhelming. No chicken wings or crumbed mushroom, just deep fried samoosas and meat balls being the highlight. Mostly chocolate desserts were served and the vanilla ice cream machine was not working. The ambience left much to be desired with the kitchen leaving the dining area smoked up and making us choke. The saving grace was the friendly staff. I have been to this restaurant five years ago, having left with the most pleasant and memorable experience. One needs to go back to the drawing table and find your standard of excellence.

    If it not the full buffet as Friday and Saturday, then your price should not be the same.
