What do recent reviews say?

Diners consistently praise the food flavour and service, with several naming specific dishes like biryani and lamb dishes as standouts. The space is quiet and welcoming, and staff like Nabeel and Saad are remembered for attentiveness.

Recently the business has faced payment friction when card machines fail, forcing staff to request personal touch-and-go transfers. One longtime regular also notes food inconsistency in recent weeks. These operational hiccups stand out against otherwise strong hospitality and cooking.
