" I had dinner with my colleagues here and we were mostly pleased! The food was tasty - particularly the chicken tikka—which was spot on! The staff was nice and attentive, but we had to wait a while to be seated. The vibe was quite upbeat, making it a good choice for gatherings. I would recommend this place to friends!
