June 2025
Had a wonderful dinner with great ambience and service. Food quality was excellent. Ordered some cocktails and they were refreshing and flavourful. Definitely going back to enjoy weekend buffet on Saturday and Sunday.
June 2025
We went for the weekend buffet. Although there were plenty of options listed, unfortunately at least 10 of the dishes were empty and never refilled even the naan arrived quite late. Because of this, we couldn’t try most of the buffet items, and because of that I honestly don’t think it was worth the price.
We arrived about an hour before the buffet ended, so maybe going earlier would provide a better experience. That said, the items we did try were flavorful...
