Such a good place to eat at for Thai and American fried chicken.

Good vibes for a relaxing meal. One of the few places that serve roti.

Atmosphere of restaurant was very chill, food menu is really creatively done - they’d recommend their cocktails pairing based on what food you ordered/thinking of ordering. Would go again!
