"It's a nice place. Good environment, loved the food a lot. I ordered the classic lemonade wasn't mixed well so I could taste the sugar particles. Main meal was 10/10."

"The menu was promising, but most dishes and drinks were not available. Draft craft beer hasn’t been served for months. Food was mediocre at best. We won’t be going here again."

"mainly went to see an artist they had on display. The place is located in Karen. I arrived quite early and had a quick breakfast. It seems to be very popular among the expat community — friends later told me it’s a great spot for lunch. The setting is lovely, with a beautiful garden atmosphere."

"Ten adults and children much enjoyed a relaxed lunch lasting 2 hours. There are tables indoors and outdoors with shade if needed. It's a family-friendly restaurant for casual dining. We ordered 2 starters. The spicy Tamarind wings were tasty but small. The beef samosas were enjoyable, although small and could have been tastier. Of the main courses, the grilled red snapper on couscous, the Swahili bbq chicken curry rice and nan also the rotisserie roast pork were all really delicious and we would choose them again. The pork Taco special and the Margarita pizza were also enjoyed. A chocolate fondant was much enjoyed by the birthday boy with the staff singing as they approached our table. We would return to this restaurant."
