Instantly felt welcomed! <br/>I ordered their salmon on bagels (they have a name for it but I can't remember! with avocado, rocket and oil dressing. Was really nicely seasoned! Salmon was fresh, the bagels were crispy and avocados were nice and creamy. I also ordered their berry and banana smoothie, which was very nice and refreshing! <br/>My friend ordered the Moroccan Lamb salad, which looked really good as well! <br/>Prices are also really decent for their portion and quality, would definitely come here again!

The soft beef was mixed with a plum jelly-like substance, and sat in small pudding cups. The small side salad it came with was also full of flavour; I wasn’t expecting it! <br/ The chicken tacos were amaaaazing, burst of flavour and the chicken was tender and oh-so-satisfying to devour! <br/ The salad was beautifully plated! Fresh, crisp and refreshing, the dressing delicately wove the flavours and textures together. Loved the touch of beetroot sauce on the side! Different and bold. <br/ <br/ At extremely affordable prices, the Beef cups and tacos were $14 each and the salad was $13.50! Absolutely crazy! It set us back by $41.50 and we were really satisfied. Hearty and authentic food made from the heart. Service was extremely accommodating, lady was so nice to us even when we were the last to leave. Atmosphere is very rustic, you feel like you’re in Britain! <br/ <br/ Food: 9/10<br/ Price: 10/10<br/ Ambience: 10/10<br/ Service: 10/10

This is a 10/10 Restaurant that is faultless! It’s absolutely beautiful inside, they even have a little piano tucked in the corner at the back! <br/ <br/ We got Crispy Soft Shell Crab, Crispy Pork Hock, Lamb Curry from their Mains/To Share; and Grilled Eggplant and Asian Slaw from Entree/Sides. For dessert we got the Pandan Parfait and Bibingka. A lot of food for just two people! <br/ <br/ As the food began rolling out, I was getting really excited because everything was nicely presented and fresh from the kitchen. <br/ Soft Shell Crab is by far one of THE best I’ve had in Auckland, and I’ve had a lot of Soft Shell Crab. Crunchy, well seasoned and sits in a bed of creamy coconut curry which was such a delight! 10/10<br/ Pork Hock was good! It comes with Soft Shell tacos and sides of lettuce and this amazing tangy salsa sauce. The meat was juicy and tender and skin was crunchy; massive portion and perfect to share between people! 9/10<br/ Lamb Curry was deeeeelicious! Generous lamb : curry ratio with carrots and potatoes, all soft and tender. Curry comes with their Roti which was Crispy, flaky and oh-so-good! Lamb was cooked to perfection, it melts in the mouth! Curry itself was creamy and smooth. I would recommend having a side of coconut rice to soak it all up! 9/10<br/ Asian Slaw was the BEST Asian Slaw I’ve had to date! Slaw can easily be too “loose” and fall apart just before you bring the forkful to your mouth. Their one is dense and juicy and well-dressed! I don’t know how they do it but it’s pulled together really well it doesn’t even taste like a slaw! 10/10<br/ Grilled eggplant was interesting; texture wise it was juicy but soft, and the lemon oil dressing added the perfect touch of “life” to it! Small chopped up garlic also spritzed up the flavours. 9/10<br/ <br/ Desserts; the pandan parfait is a warm cake with caramelised pear, crushed walnuts and biscuit. The warmth of the cake melts the cream, combined with the crunch of the crushed goodness and the syrup—sends you to heaven. <br/ Bibingka cleverly plays between citrus, honey-sweet and bittersweet. Zesty orange pieces and the milk pudding worked really well; and the burnt honeycomb pieces plus the ice cream will make a party go off on your palate! <br/ <br/ All of this will set you back by $117, which I think is an amazingly reasonably price for the excellent dining experience!<br/ Service was absolutely top-notch, everything was perfect and it honestly is such a pity to see them go! I’ll try to visit again for sure! <br/ <br/ <br/ Food: 10/10<br/ Price: 10/10<br/ Ambience: 10/10<br/ Service: 10/10
