    The food could definitely be improved, as the taste wasn’t quite what we expected. For instance, the curry was quite dry and lacked sauce, and the pastries were also dry. Unfortunately, we ended up eating very little. I didn’t try the liver as it also appeared a bit dry. It would be great to include more breakfast options, even just the basics like eggs and sausages, since most of the current dishes weren’t very enjoyable. The homemade lemonade also wasn’t very pleasant; it had a strong mint flavour that overpowered the lemon. Perhaps the recipe could be adjusted for a better balance.

    This place deserves every five star and more. The service is great and the experience is worth the hype. The ambience of the place is aesthetically pleasing. Loved it. Would definitely go again.
