Event Testimonials

Thank you for helping me pull off an amazing birthday celebration for my husband. Our family and loved ones had a blast, loved the food and are still going on about the delicious cake that they enjoyed during the day. The service was outstanding too and the help leading up to it was very much appreciated.

My husband and I were beyond happy. Thank you and the team for making our day and his milestone so special.

Anuja – Private Event

I also wanted to say thank you for a well organised event. We thoroughly enjoyed the day especially given the painless experience. The staff were all professional and catered to our needs exceptionally well. Please pass my thanks onto them as well and once again thank you for making the event preparation easy for my wife.

Reg P. – Private Event

We would like to thank you and your team for our beautiful lunch at your restaurant today. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant & the seatings – bright, spacious and especially clean. Not too noisy which enable the 23 of us to have good chat without the need of shouting at each other. We were sitting right next to the kitchen but none of us actually had food smell lingering on our hair and clothes.

We experienced great services – you are all very efficient, friendly and helpful. Foods and drink came out promptly. Thumb up for the chefs who make beautiful char grilled lambs – 2 from a la carte and 13 from square meals – all cooked perfectly to my colleague’s preference.
