    The food and ambience are worth the visit, however, service is bad. We waited 10 minutes before someone came to take our drinks order. You are served by almost everyone who works in the restaurant, because your waiter is no where to be found. Perhaps they need to employ more staff if they are understaffed, or allocated waiters by sections so they won't be all over the place.

    The ambience, and food were great. We absolutely enjoyed the variety of small plates dishes we ordered (5 to be exact).The food was delicious but overshadowed by Azania horrible service. She showed no interest to our table whatsoever, We waited over an hour for our food,and had to flag other waiters for the bill and arrived 10 min later with the bill.Apart from the amazing food the experience was tainted by Azania lack of interest.
