We had a really tasty evening at this romantic restaurant on our first night in Coogee. We picked the surprise me menu and loved every stage of it.
Delicious cocktails and fabulous service in a time where the hospitality industry is under so much stress.

Absolutely stunning food. Of particular note was the crispy chicken and pork hock. The chilli margarita was also a nice way to start the experience!! Thanks to the professional and friendly staff.

This is South Asian infused restaurant so the menu is unique. Limited range though and not alot of variety. Portions are small-medium size. Don't expect to feel super full when sharing with friends.
Pricey items but very tasty food. Every ingredient was fresh. I enjoyed the experience. I probably wouldn't return here if I had a choice. Its more of a social place with nice view, good food and quite posh. The male Asian host was a bit awkward in the end. Pretty much indirectly kicking us off the table coz it's a busy night. The outdoor section was nice to sit at. Inside was quite loud and noisy

The food was excellent, the staff very accommodating, and the cocktails spicy if you want them that way. A nice view of Coogee even on a rainy day.

My partner and I opted for the unknown set menu aka the 'trust me menu'. Our server was lovely and charismatic. We trusted our server and we were served with a mouthwatering meal. Flavourful, hearty, and most of all delicious. So delicious. My partner and I walked by this restaurant many times since coming to Coogee and never thought to go in but we did, and are so glad we gave it a chance.
Seriously, give this place a chance and you will not be disappointed. My mouth is watering even thinking about our previous meal and my partner and I plan to return for another gorgeous meal where were full

I was there for a Christmas dinner banquet, Unconventional Asian food, loved the creativity , the fresh taste, the explosion of flavours in your mouth. I would love to visit again with my family.
