We went on a Friday night. Despite booking in advance we had a table right by the door - it was really cold so we asked to move. The food was good but the place was too busy/loud for our party. I would however try again midweek to see if it’s any better before writing it off.

The restaurant was completely empty with just our table there. The music was extremely loud and we couldn't hear each other speak or order dinner. It wasn't much lower even after we asked for it to be turned down. All in all, the food was OK but nowhere I would return in a hurry for dinner. Small plates & loud music vibe.

Me and my partner came here on our anniversary and it was the best decision this restaurant is better than any restaurant in central London. There staff are very caring & polite, I have a nut allergy and they made sure everything was okay for me. Their food is amazing it’s so fresh and so many delicious flavours it’s beautiful. Also their cocktails are out of this world! They’re not to sweet and they’re not to strong they’re just right. Hakuna Matata means no worries and that’s exactly what happens you don’t worry at all it’s like a dream in this restaurant. I highly advise to visit this restaurant it’s the best.

Service was brilliant and staff really lovely, music was slightly too loud as we were right under a speaker, food was brought out quickly as were drinks. Needs to be more choice on starters as no good if you don’t like fish, only alternative was bruschetta, no good if you don’t like tomatoes. Only one dessert which sounded nice but was a bit heavy as we were quite full, so would appreciate more choice. Burger could have been more juice and flame grilled. Halloumi fries were so good, been thinking about them since!
