The service here was amazing, the server had asked about the dishes we ordered mostly being spicy as this was my step-dad's favourite kind. He then went away to get different hot sauces that he thought might be to his taste. This was a nice touch as there is many sauces there and my step-dad would have been unsure which ones to go with.
