    Terrible. Food used to be delisous. Wasabi potato mash tasted like butterno Wasabi. Pork and prawn spring rolls. ..no prawn. Salmonvery old smelly fish and Rogan josh fatty and some thing was wrong because next day husband and I were VERY I'LL and our whole day was ruined. Really expensive. Will never go back. Didn't want to risk desert so went and bought a tip top icecream.

    My husband and I dined here this evening as the menu sounded great. Im not sure if we were perhaps forgotton about but our entree of four steamed dumplings took just over an hour to be served to our table. The dumplings were nice but the sauce was too acidic. We then waited another half an hour for our mains to arrive. This would have been fine if the food was worth the wait.my husband ordered rogan josh lamb shanks, these were served with a very bland sauce and the meal itself was not even warm. I ordered the chinese Sichuan pepper fish with veges and egg noodles, we received fried mushy fish and veges and noodles drowned in what tasted like a jar of sweet and sour sauce, unfortunately not what either of us expected. To the restaurants credit they didnt charge us for my meal and offered to make anything else off the menu in 3 minutes or a free dessert. We appreciated the offer but declined. Perhaps we caught them on an off night but this is not a restaurant we will be returning to anytime soon.

    I dined here on a Sunday evening in winter and had the pork belly dish with pineapple and Asian vegetables. The ingredients were quality, the flavors were there but the execution of the dish was off. The pork was slightly overdone making it on the chewier side. The vegetables were over cooked as well making them quite soft and the dish was absolutely swimming in sweet and sour sauce which overpowered all the other ingredients. Correcting these three things would take this dish from so-so to stellar. I accompanied my meal with a glass of Reisling which was delightful and generously poured. The staff were friendly and very attentive.

    Food was great when it finally arrivedwe shared the restaurant with only two other tables but waited 45min for our food.
    The front of house staffs was too familiar.

    OMG! What a beautiful meal!! We had the Seafood balls for our starter, Kashmiri Roganjosh and Glazed Duck breast for our mainswell proportioned, delicious spices, and amazing service. Good selection of wine, decently priced. Was highly spoken for by a mate, and the recommendation was well deserved.

    Interesting, but I wasn't quite as taken with it as some of the other reviewers. The breadth of asian food they cover is pretty ambitious, possibly a bit too much. After seeing the recommendations for the pork belly my wife had it, it was well cooked, but a bit overwhelmed with sweet & sour sauce. My lamb shank rogan josh was tender and tasty. On the fence, I'd rate it 3.5 if I could.
