    Nice buzz to this busy spot. They had no beer on tap so we had a glass each of decent red. Food was nice but the vegetables in the lamb tagine were a bit bland - the lamb itself was melt in the mouth and the rice was delicious too. The mixed grill was decent - lovely smoky flavour and served with half a spicy flatbread, small green salad and mayo. We shared a rice pudding - delicious and very rich and finished with a mint tea. Nice ambience, great music and good service. We were seated in the yard area although we had requested the main restaurant when we booked. We will definitely be back.
