    We went for a tasting menu, it was absolutely stunning. Every dish, every mouthful was am explosion of flavours. It was my husband's 40th, they also included a lovely dessert with a candle at the end. They were incredibly sweet. The waitress who served us, unfortunately I do not recall her name was so pleasant. Loved the ambience, food, and service.

    A friend reccomend this spot in Paddington basin. Had chicken karagee to start and it was a great way to begin our dinner. My partner had the Ayllu platter and I had the pollito a la brasa. Japanese meet Peruvian cuisine and it is Delicious. The dessert was amazing! Pink prosecco was good as well. Speedy service with good recommendations from our server. A true dining experience.
