"The food here is delicious, we went for the set menu as we couldn’t choose, nice to try things we wouldn’t normally order, soup starter was great ! Really friendly and attentive service, highly recommended."

"Had a sharing platter starter, enough for 4 people although just 2 of us. Both main courses would also feed 2 people, so a lot of food came home. Not cheap but when you get a complete second meal to have at home, becomes better value for money. Venue was clean and tidy and staff helpful and friendly. Food arrived promptly."

"We love this place, as we're a local to this. The take out side food quality is the exact same to restaurant. We like to go when it's quiet, always a lovely warm welcome when you enter, very friendly and nothing is a problem. Food is always hot and a great amount 1 meal is enough for us to share as the potions are large. We have the house special chow main, egg fried rice chips curry and gravy, and of course my prawn toast. Never have we had a issue or a problem with our food drinks or staff always happy to help. Even on take out 1 meal is enough to share but like I say I am a small eater. Price is fair for the amount you receive."
