the food is nice enough but be aware, if you have a nut allergy do not eat here. before we sat down we specifically asked staff if they have any food without nuts as my partner is allergic, and they said yes, whatever we want they can make it with no nuts. we sat down and ordered and reiterated that we cant have any nuts, the owner said i understand, trust me, ive talked to the chef he wont put any nuts in it. we received the food and after taking one bite my partner had an allergic reaction. he asks if theres a problem and i explain that we cant eat this as there are nuts in it and he defensively says that theres not, and brings the chef over to say theres no nuts in it. when we went to pay they charged us for both meals, and only after i said no were not paying for that did he take it off the bill. the chef then approached us and did apologise but it seemed as though he was just trying to defend himself, saying theres no nuts rather than showing hes sorry. my partner wouldnt just have an allergic reaction for no reason so obviously there was nuts used accidentally, or some cross contamination. it does happen on occasion but the lack of accountability on their behalf was...
Read moreI got bad case of food poisoning from eating the chicken Samosa here. It was the only thing my wife didn't eat, that I ate for dinner- she was fine. Also, for breakfast and lunch that day we ate at the hotel and with a tour group - everyone else was fine.

Don't recommend anyone go here unless they also want food poisoning.
EDIT: when I say serious food poisoning, I mean throwing up all night (which started right after leaving the restaurant) and diarrhea for days. I couldn't even drink a drop of water without throwing up immediately. I never had something like this my entire life and I have had food from all sorts of...
