It was a good place for last 9 years (though it is older than that). All the best to David and team for...

The restaurant refused to cancel the 'salty' chicken from the final bill, moreover, they would not accept their mistake and instead blamed us.

Would not recommend visiting, as the manager was opinionated and wasn't cooperative with the...
