Went to have food with an old Michael I hadn't seen for years. Had the mixed grill skewer for 2. The rice was amazing. The service was nice. Will go there again when next I'm in Chester

We arrived without a booking (book in future) and they were just able to accommodate us, a few people who arrived after us had to make alternative arrangements. The staff were busy, but friendly and polite. The food was fresh and arrived quickly. Probably the shortest time we have spent there - usually it would be a whole evening in the room upstairs!

Loved the food, absolutely stunning!! Portions were generous which I like when I go out and service was quick even though everything is made fresh infront of you! Waitresses were quick with requests and atmosphere was light and fun. My only suggestion would be a bigger location really because if you are going with more than 6 people it would be a squeeze. Highly recommended for the food though

It was delicious, friendly staff very accommodating. The food was the best I've had in a long time. This is more of a takeaway with seating but it didn't take away from the atmosphere. Portions were large very good value for money. I've already planned a trip back there.
