Interesting food combinations. Always something new to try. The server was very helpful advising my friend who normally isn’t a fan of spicy food. We had the curry dish and the chicken burger and shared both our dishes. Both were great. Very tasty fries as well.

The server was very nice, explained the various dishes. Was quick to refill my wine glass. The borscht was a little thin and the roll was still cold in the middle.. the shortribs were good but could have had a more robust flavour. I couldnt taste the Guiness which was apparently the sauce. Good overall and i would go back and try a different entree.
