“ Wanted some good comfort food on a particularly cold day, the staff recommended the Laksa and I’m usually not one for the likes of it. But I’m so glad I went with the Laksa as it was AMAZING! Hands down the best I’ve ever had! The restaurant was super cosy and the staff really made sure we were well looked after. Also almost every second thing on the menu was super enticing so I can’t wait to go back for more! ”

I especially loved the green papaya salad—so fresh and flavorful—and the pad thai was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweet and savory. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. The drinks were also a highlight, especially with their 2-for-1 cocktail offer, which was a fantastic deal.
