Such an incredible restaurant! The food was unreal and the service was excellent. I even received a beautiful birthday dessert on the house! So impressed with the service and quality of food especially being vegan and gluten free, there were soooo many incredible options to choose from. We ended up ordering 8 plates because everything sounded so good and each dish definitely lived up to their description, if not better. Thank you to everyone for making our evening so magical, special thank you to Meriam who was so attentive and knowledgeable, she gave us the best taco recommendations! :)

From the moment we arrived to when we left we were made to feel very special, staff amazing and food equally amazing, a little bit pricey but in London you expect that. The only negative is they bring food out when it's ready so not everything necessarily comes together, which is fine but I can't understand why my pork belly came a good 6 to 7 minutes before something as simple as the noodles I ordered. Overall an amazing experience in a lovely restaurant, I would highly recommend a visit.
