Been here twice within the past 3 weeks. The food is absolutely amazing! Had the short rib the first time around and it truly melted in my mouth. The silky mash that accompanied it was tasty and complemented the short ribs well. Second time around I had the fillet and prawns. Fillet was incredibly succulent, tasty and well cooked. The prawns were okay and coconut rice was really tasty????????????????. They do have quite a wide wine selection to suit a variety of tastes. Service is good. Prices are slightly on the pricey side however well worth what you get. Downside: can be a bit noisy, however if you are looking for a bit of a vibe, this is your spot. Oh aesthetics? 10/10!!!

So the food was very unique with flavor. I definitely think the serving dishes look awesome and gives you the wow factor.

The dishes that I enjoyed was chicken wings and the pork belly.

The services was not bad at all. We were helped quickly.

The Restaurant is stunning and the interior design is very tasteful.

I ordered the Short Rib, served with mash and pickled cauliflower. The food was above average but not great. I complemented the main with extra garlic and green chilli. I added a bit more salt black pepper and a splash of olive oil. Definitely elevated this dis to another level.

The service was ok. The staff were a bit too loud for my liking.

Overall good experience, needs improvement. Will I recommend…

Yes, the menu looks interesting, I would like to try some other dishes ????

We waited a good 45-60 minutes for our food and it wasn’t all that busy. I think they had to slaughter the animals first before they could prepare our meals. The chicken was dry but at least it was cooked thoroughly to avoid salmonella, the lamb chops weren’t so tender and the beef was okay. The meat could have had more seasoning because it was kinda bland, even the BBQ basting was practically tasteless. Their “chips”, really they should be called potato crisps because that’s what they are.

Their milkshakes are very creamy, delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. I wouldn’t come back for the lunch/dinner options, maybe their breakfast is better.

Their decor is beautiful, great ambiance and the music was cool.

Absolute delight. I had a octopus sand salad starter, hubby had bone marrow and let me tell you, I always thought I'd never enjoy octopus but the salad had goat cheese, baby spinach and tomatoes, the octopus was thick and tasted like a hake steak. I enjoyed it a lot.

Mains: green Thai chicken and noodles with a hint of ginger and pepper, also had almond nuts topping. Hubby had all great things to say about his steak ????????.

We had Glenfiddich with still water ofcos... That's the only way to have it.

I was too full for desert but will definitely go there to try some. The service was 10/10, waiters go out of their way to make one comfortable, the ambiance is calm and jazzy like, which is a total vibe if u want to chill.

I found this restaurant to be very beautiful, neat and clean.

Unfortunately it seemed the restaurant lacked stock. This was seen when multiple types of wine bottles we had requested were not available and my meal was incomplete.

The floor staff were friendly and only a few were informative on what the menu had to offer. Quite a few also lacked attention to detail and found it more appealing to stand at the door and chat amongst each other.

We hadn’t received any condiments or cutlery even after receiving our starters. Eventually after requesting cutlery we could eat our meal.

I ordered the halloumi, kataifi in a honey drizzle. The kataifi was missing from my plate and the halloumi tasted like it had been drenched in sunflower oil with some sweet notes from the honey.

My partner ordered fried calamari starter. The side salad that came with it was excellent, definitely the star of the dish. The calamari itself was in need of seasoning but unfortunately the table had no condiments to assist, nor was it served with a tartare sauce which it so desperately needed considering the bland flavouring.

All in all, I believe the restaurant had a bad day for customers to have had a good experience for the first time at this establishment. With that being said, I won’t be willing to waste well earned resources on trying them again.

I couldn't find any fault here. Great restaurant in Brooklyn mall. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was on par. The menu covers a spectrum of dishes. We had chicken corma, Aubergine, and halumi with olives. All beautifully presented, matched only by the taste. Well worth it. Prices was reasonable.
