"We recently discovered this little gem during a day trip, and we wish we lived closer! The service was very friendly, and the food was delicious, with a great selection of dishes on the menu. Unfortunately, there were no tables available when we arrived, but as suggested, we waited at the bar until one became free. The home-cooked food was incredibly tasty, and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for my next visit!"

"My boyfriend and I went here today for my birthday. The food was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I got Thai calamari with sweet chilli sauce and chicken coconut satay with peanut sauce for starters. Then the tiger cry, chicken and beef friend rice with beef pan-nag for our mains. My tiger cry was SIZZLING!! We also got chilli sauce. The food was SO GOOD. Omggg. We ate every single bite and morsels of food. It was so scrumptious. They also sang happy birthday to me (on request of course) and brought out the cake my boyfriend got for me. If you’re thinking of coming here for a meal DO IT!! The staff were lovely and sweet. I’m so glad I got to come here for my birthday"

"We choose this restaurant for our special occasions, and this time it was for our 50th anniversary dinner, which we celebrated with our children and two dear friends of ours. As always, the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The highlight of the evening was the outstanding performance by the singer Irie J, who truly elevated our experience with top-notch entertainment."

"This is the first time we have been to this restaurant under this management. The restaurant itself looked lovely and the staff were very welcoming. We were seated and two waitresses asked what we would like to drink! A little while later our order was taken. Our starters duly arrived and they were delicious, sadly we waited a very long while for our plates to be cleared. Our mains arrived a bit later, unfortunately the wrong main had been served and we had to send it back, we sat for a while and then my husband asked for his dinner to be kept warm whilst waiting for mine. When we received the correct meals the food was delicious. We had then finished our mains and again waited a while for plates to be cleared. Once the plates had been cleared we waited another 15 minutes for someone to take our dessert order, the waitress did apologise and said they were having huge problems with the tills. Desserts duly came out and unfortunately I had to send mine back as I had custard instead of cream, in Franco’s defence they did take the price of the dessert off the bill. We weren’t offered more drinks until we had nearly finished desserts and to be honest we weren’t going to chase this. Overall the food is delicious and fantastic value for money but the service on this particular night was a shambles which is so sad as this restaurant could be amazing."
