Really great food and great service. Our table was booked for 6 pm and we arrived late as the so it was given away . The staff acted promptly and got us a table 15 mins later . They apologised for giving the table away and gave us a free pint on the manager. It was lovely touch .

This restaurant is above a very noisy bar in the temple bar area, however the noise level was manageable in the restaurant. It’s dimly light and warm. The menu wasn’t large but the quality of both our food dishes was beautiful. The curry was one of the nicest I have tasted.
