    Good day, I had a terrible food experience there a few years ago and thought I would give it another try but there was absolutely no improvement on the quality of food. The desserts was the worst and instead of Malva it was Date loaf and even Date loaf in the triffle. I gathered that you used all the unused dates from your Iftar buffet you had in Ramadaan. Your fish station especially the calamari was horrible. I'm not sure if you have different chefs at different time but you guys need to do better.

    Hi thr.. It was my second time vome thr and i brought three other guests with. My first time was during ong the month of ramadaan. This month was a dufferent menu. The thai prawn cutry was mostly heads in there when u dished and the mixed seafood was hardly any prawns in it. The waiter hadbto literallyvdig forb2 prawns and 1 piece of calamari. We all pay yhe same price but i think it is pathetic that one has yo get the nottom of the barrel of a dish that isbon ur menu and for all to enjoy. When u dish u need to know that what i am dish is what i will be eating not mixing thru the food looking for what is inside of the soup. I was totally put off from this round of visiting ur reataurant.

    Dear Vivian Thank you for the review and comments, all positive and negative feedback allows us to ensure we continuously deliver. I will definitely see what can be done with the prawn curry, it is difficult as prawn meat does soften and blends with the curry and with so many guest dining and looking for the prawns equally challenging. We will try and look at alternative solutions.

    It was an overall good experience and the food was awesome. We did however wait for our drinks very long. Other than that it was great.
