After many years of neglect, the homestead and six acres of grounds have been aesthetically restored, allowing it to once again become the ‘Jewel in Knox City’. Stamford Parks current custodians, have waved their ‘whimsical’ magic of both design and true hospitality over the beautiful estate and it is now a stunning property serving the public for what it was originally intended – a place to gather, meet, entertain and unwind.

The food was of excellent quality and taste. Enjoyed authentic South Indian dishes. No skimping on the vegetables either. The taste was mouth watering and delicious. The service was great. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner and we were able to enjoy them. I will highly recommend the place if you want an authentic Indian vegetarian meal.

A semi local to us we know to book in advance. The food is always exceptional and fresh. The coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. The staff are well trained and friendly. With an egg shortage we were told that eggs could only be fried or scrambled at the moment due to quality issues but regardless they were absolutely delicious. We’ll always come back.
