Popped in early for the pre-6pm set. Three tapas for &pound;20, just right for two. The patatas bravas were spot on. Good little find.

Service was solid. Staff were polite and kept things moving even when it got busy. Tables were cleared promptly, which I appreciate during a quick business lunch. No fuss, efficient.

The food was tasty and good value, but honestly, I just really liked the space. It&rsquo;s got this relaxed, airy feel with lots of natural light and comfy seating. Felt easy to unwind there for a bit.

As a vegetarian, it&#39;s rare to find a full menu of options. The ingredients were so fresh, especially in the seasonal salad. The presentation was lovely, too. A very pleasant meal.

Staff are quick and helpful, never pushy. Got a lunch special recommendation and my food was out in no time. Perfect for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years, and their traditional soups are the reason. Always the same comforting, rich flavour that fills you up without weighing you down. It&#39;s the kind of reliable dish you keep coming back for.

The Sunday roast was spot on. Really liked the vibe in the bar area, it was busy but still felt relaxed. Staff were friendly even when they were clearly in the weeds.

The chicken satay sauce was so good. Really thick and sticky, you could taste the fresh peanuts. It&#39;s the kind of quality I look for. The chicken itself was a bit dry, but that sauce made up for it.

The show was fantastic, the performers were so talented and full of energy. The atmosphere was electric, we were completely engaged the whole time.

Late night kanafeh with Nutella and strawberries. The pastry was warm and crisp, the cheese filling gooey. The Nutella and strawberries cut through the richness just enough. A solid choice when you need something sweet after hours.

This place is my new go-to for catching up with friends. The vegan thali is so good, and you can share a few of their speciality drinks like the turmeric chai. Already been back twice!

The lunch menu has a good selection. My pizza was tasty, the crust had a nice chew to it. Service was quick and friendly, even though the place was busy.

Cosy spot, and the staff are genuinely attentive. You can tell they care about the details, which made the evening feel relaxed. Service was spot-on without being overbearing.

Portions are huge, and the stir-fry hot pot is really flavourful. Good value for a filling meal.

I really like the build-your-own box idea. Watching them cook the protein fresh in front of you is nice. You can see exactly what goes in, which is important to me. The chicken was juicy and the veggies were crisp. A good, straightforward lunch option.

Made the drive just for their Chicago deep dish. It&#39;s huge! Got a whole box of leftovers to take home. They even let us bring our dog inside, which was a nice surprise.

This restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for special occasions. The staff is attentive and the food is outstanding, especially the dragon fruit sweet and sour chicken!

Love the new look! The touch-screen ordering is a game changer for a quick catch-up with mates.

The Taiwanese beef broth ramen was really flavourful. The space is nice, feels a bit like a modern canteen with those long shared tables. Good for a quick, casual meal.

The smashed burger was spot on, really juicy with that crispy edge. I went with a local IPA on tap, and the hoppy bitterness cut through the richness nicely. Chips were solid. Quick service for a lunch stop.
