The food was good but the service was very rushed! Three different people asked for our order within 5 mins of sitting down. The ambience was average because we were sat on the indoor patio extension of the restaurant. The food and drinks were overpriced for what you get, especially since you feel so rushed. I would order takeout only if I went again.

Everything was OK nothing really stood out as over the top. No concern about my Open Table reservation. Party of three and we all had something different. Food came out really quickly which I’m not sure if that’s an indication of pure efficiency or most of the food was pretty much prepared in advance. Nonetheless it was good and nicely presented. Would have preferred my rice to be in a separate dish vs in my curry soaking up all the sauce making chopsticks unusable! Didn’t have drinks but those of other tables around us look pretty incredible.
