    Great staff support really kind and helpful. I found from my last visit a few years ago the afternoon high Tea was not as I expected in terms of the food selection- open table doesn’t advise what’s included especially that free top ups finish at 4pm ! I found that the drinks option was limited as they only offer rose lassi and chai in the past I had a choice with many other options for the savoury selection - I found the food was good but the selection on the menu could have been more as they only offered fish pakora would have loved an onion or veg pakora Great helpful staff

    Fantastic dining experience in a unique and tranquil space. The service was second to none, very attentive without being intrusive. The space is also very comfortable and elegant without being pretentious. Last but by no means least, the food and cocktails were out of this world. The monkfish and black dal were mind blowingly good as was the biryani. Genuinely an unforgettable dining experience.
