Great experience here. Went on a Saturday evening and although it was busy, the way the restaurant is laid out made it feel quite spacious and wasn’t too loud. Food came out really fast after ordering. Only issue was we asked for tap water and didn’t realise the bottle they brought was bottled and £4, however this was to share for the table so not much of an issue, we also ordered a dish after the original order and it took a while to come out as the kitchen was very busy, great customer service though. Our table order lots of bits and shared so value for money was great. Will definitely got again
