    a fun restaurant conveniently close to the West End theatres. The staff were friendly, the food was really good and they serve fast. Nice atmosphere a bit noisy but you could still have a conversation.

    Chose for a pre-theatre meal. The service was courteous and friendly, suitably fast for pre-theatre without us feeling rushed. Surprised by how generous the starters were, so much so I couldn’t finish my main course! My breaded potato starter was just ok but I had one of my husband’s two bhajis and that was lovely. My lamb rogan was gorgeous- tender mean in a delicious sauce. Beer was pricy but the set menu was great value for Covent Garden. Would visit again
