Delightful cosy Thai restaurant.
Food was delicious and the decor is set really nicely.
The staff was very helpful in giving directions on how to eat some of the dished we had never tried before(can truly recommend the beetle leave starter)
Not the cheapest night out with my partner but had a very pleasant experience, worth indulging sometimes
Hats off to the team.
