    Aman was the best server we have ever had! He took such good care of us and made us feel incredibly special. The food was incredible and we left so stuffed and with about 6 takeaway containers! Do the set menu and let them take care of you, you won’t regret it!

    The food is amazing. My favorites are eggplant dip and buttermilk fired chicken. The tea infused cocktails are very unique too, worth trying. Service is great, staff are all very friendly.
