- 6.30pm - Review Beautiful service, amazing relaxing ambience with incense, music and tables out front. So traditional. And the food is delicious, hearty. Ask to add chilli if you used to more heat in some dishes. And if you are vegan and or coeliac, this place is a dream. Recommend lentil Pattie’s which are essentially a kind of bread.
