Incredible.
The food is so fresh, and so full of flavour, great portions to have a starter and a main. Their Home Brew Rice beer is deliciously, and uniquely, tasty.
There is so much attention to detail to the decor, from the stunning wall paintings, to the china-plate lightcovers and ceiling wallpaper. They really created an authenticly unique environment.
Downside though, the service was a bit slow. We had to wait quite a bit for cutlery for our main course and our 2nd round of drinks were warmer than ideal by the time they got to our table, having been ready at the counter several minutes before being collected. They appear to be a bit understaffed.
The music was too loud. It took away from the experience. The place is small and crowded already, the very loud music makes it nearly impossible to have a conversation without shouting and missing a couple of words with one's fellow diners. The music choice itself, although not in line with the restaurant theme, was still pleasant enough.
Our table was in the first isle, close to the windows, and wafts of unpleasant smoke, not just regular, but what smelt alot like weed-smoke, would come in every so often. This is a very difficult thing for a restaurant to deal with, and they can't really be blamed for this, as the massive windows really help prevent that the small space gets too stuffy, one can only do _so_ much when it comes to expecting and asking for considerate smoking etiquette from smokers.
By far though, the food and beer really made the visit worthwhile and worth the recommendation. Would like to try the Fourways branch next and see how it compares.
