This was our second time and we’ll definitely be back again. We left it up to our waiter to suggest what he thought were the best dishes of the house and he did not disappoint. It’s expensive but absolutely worth it.

Servings small Service poor Waiters on their phones Had to ask for water, order more food , dessert menu , the bill by practically yelling for attention; but they were overly anxious to get order coming by repeatedly even before all guests arrived. Food was excellent but portions small for $$ price Even naan small and single piece cut in two for 5$. Menu different from original menu now with Hakka items.

Food is overall amazing, we tasted around 6 dishes on the menu and they were all equally good. A bit on the pricier side but portions match the price and we were full and happy at the end. Service is impeccable too and we liked how quiet the restaurant was. Only downside would be the decor that although intimate feels a bit bland and uninspiring. But food comes first and that was a great experience.
