We had a great time as a family of four, with two teenagers at Happy. It was big and loud, but also vibrant, energetic and definitely “Happy”. A vast menu to cater to 4 very different tastes, typical yellow food for the kids made them very happy, adults had quesadillas and guacamole, which were pretty good too. Lots going on, lots to watch, and sing and clap along to. They make a fuss if it’s your birthday, which is sweet.

Great food and atmosphere. The valentines meal was nice, albeit it wasn’t clear when booking that a la carte was not being served after 5pm. Still good value considering the quality of the food. Our host Faiza was lovely. She assured we had everything we needed with enthusiasm and a smile and we were not chased for our table either. Recommended.
