I need more than five stars.
This place has to be on your bucket list. What this chef Sonakshi can do is miraculous.
From the same raw ingredients most of us can find (aubergines, risotto rice, cream…) she creates works of art – presented like the treasures they are, tasting like you’ve gone to heaven.

The team working today were personable, hospitable, attentive, patient and kind. The food was attractive to look at and quite...

It was just a couple of pints and a bottle of wine, nothing fancy. Everything was extremely slow even though it wasn’t even full. It was our son’s birthday, we didn’t expect anything special for him however we were asked twice at the time of the booking and by our waiter about the occasion which made us confused wether we should leave or wait for something...
