Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers come for, with several calling it good value and describing drinks that keep arriving before a glass is finished. Diners name the curried goat hash and the chicken roti, while another meal featured calamari starters and a spicy prawn buddha bowl. Cocktails get steady praise, including spicy margaritas made to taste, and one reviewer likes that happy hour runs all day. Service is the other recurring theme, with servers described as friendly, funny and attentive even on a very busy Saturday afternoon. One reviewer found the dishes quite spicy, though still full of flavor, and one suggests booking in advance. The reviews raise no real complaints. Reviewers also mention a domino game left on the table, and a birthday and an anniversary celebrated over brunch.

  • Ceri Cox
    “Excellent meal on a very busy Saturday afternoon, glad to have booked in advance - food was delicious - calamari starters followed by spicy prawn buddha bowl and cocktails - highly recommend spicy margaritas ( made to your liking ) - although very busy, service from Tom was outstanding, always approached the table to ask if we needed more drinks etc. Couldn’t fault the meal, service & atmosphere. Will be back again”
