In addition to the delicious food and great service, I accidentally left my credit card behind. It may have been a day or so before I even missed it but because I had made reservations, they had my phone no. (restaurant is small) and called me when I was barely out of the lot. He even tried to catch me before I drove away and they were quite busy with just the one waiter and one server. Great job of looking out for your customers!

The food and service was a 10/10! I got the lamb shank which was so delicious, the meat just fell right out, I ordered the cardamom tea with the Cardamom Milk Cake and it was the best cake I've had in a while! Literally so happy I came across this hidden gem. It's a very small restaurant so I wouldn't come with a large group.
