What a great spot! The service was top-notch and our steaks came out perfectly cooked—juicy and full of flavor. The only letdown was the half-lobster (a little skimpy on the meat), but honestly, the meal as a whole was still a steal for the price. Solid value all around. Definitely will be back soon
Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everything was fantastic from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the prices were very reasonable. There was also a great variety of dishes to choose from. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.
Food was so good! Service was amazing, the man who served us was very nice and respectful, fast service. The was food so delicious, my mum had to get seconds and ordered two main dishes! Both our orders and seconds came literally 5 minutes after ordering. Has such a nice atmosphere with nice ambient lighting, it is halal. Would definitely recommend. It is affordable too, so perfect to bring the whole family, they have a kids menu too. Definitely will come back again, came all the way from the West Midlands. I got the sirloin steak and it was grilled to perfection just how asked! Highly recommend!
Food was fantastic. We ordered the royal for 2 and that was more than enough for the 4 of us. We also ordered some starters that were so good. Overall absolutely amazing food.
Amazing service from Diogo, very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. We had the fruit de mer, steak/lobster, lamb chops/lobster and seafood rice. Everything cooked perfectly and seasoned well. A really nice experience. Cannot wait to come back.
