A must try culinary experience amongst a magical backdrop of the harbour view. The harmonious blend of authentic recipes and expert wine pairings facilitated the perfect night out. You will be treated with phenomenal service, all whilst discovering that there isnt a bad dish on the menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Incredible food! Every dish we tasted was flavourful and left us wanting to get seconds every time. Amazing staff that were extremely caring and polite. Located at such a great location, the views at dinner time are unmatched to any other restaurant Ive been to. Couldnt recommend this place more!

Succulent meats and beautiful flavours, however not overbearing. Top quality service with a great deal of attention to detail. Amazing view, overall 10/10 experience.

Food was ok, nothing out of the extraordinary. There are plenty of better Indian Restaurants elsewhere. Other than the view and the lady who served us, I was disappointed and really put off with everything. The cook and the guy waiter were talking in their language which left the poor lady (who didn't speak their language) all by herself. Didn't really liked what I saw.
Ambience, decor, utensils, the place on the whole had a very unpleasant feel and smell.

Now that what we call a authentic Indian Dinning Restaurant. Everything I ordered was so tasty and well presented
Chicken starter, Lamb cutlet and Dal is a must try.
