Food was so delicious we returned the next night for more. Friendly, excellent service. A really pleasant dining experience in a welcoming environment. Pad Thai vegetarian option was delicious and the husband loved a yellow chicken curry. Highly recommend.

We went here last night because it was close to our hotel and the food was delicious! Our waiter was so attentive and the wait time was reasonable for the incredible quality of the food. Everything was freshly prepared and the banana fritters we got for dessert were SO GOOD 😋 10/10 would eat here again!
