   - we were constantly asked if we have ordered our drink when we already had our drink order taken which showed poor communication within the staff. - my ginger friends meal had a brown strand of hair in the rice which put her off her meal, and when telling the waiter about the hair and how she would like a fresh meal, he brought back the strand of hair to show her that it was ginger when clearly the strand of hair was dark brown. this just shows poor hygiene and poor service to my friend and it was just unprofessional to show her specifically what was in the rice. on top of that, I was charged an extra £20 for that meal which got replaced which I think was unnecessary and I would like a refund of that. other than that the whole experience was good, and the staff were friendly.

   Overall a good family friendly joint. Convenient location and good parking spot in front of the restaurant. Food was amazing, but seems a bit too expensive for a restaurant like this.

   chicken shish was so succulent and tasty. All plates were beautifully presented. Staff were very helpful with advising me about what I could eat as I have Coeliac disease.

   Food & services was amazing as always, we had chicken shish kebabs with rice or chips & lamb chops, everything cooked to perfection. It does get quite noisy when the entertainment starts in the evening.

   We booked for my sons 21st birthday We have been before and I must say the food was better last time. It’s always cold in there as well due to the air conditioning. It was busyish and there was someone singing which I found a bit ghastly droaning in the background. It wasn’t the best this time I must admit Which was a shame

    On arrival all was well, we sat down. The table was very wobbly. I had noticed there was a menu stuck under the table to even it out. But this didn’t work. So when we was eating or leaning on the table it was constantly wobble. We ordered drinks…. Our drinks got taken to a different table which meant we waited 20 minutes for our drinks. The restaurant was freezing cold. We got our bill they charged us full price even though it was 20% off. So I had to ask the waitress to sort this matter out. She said they was so busy she had forgotten. But in all honesty it wasn’t that busy.
