Halsted Bernard: Quite impressed with the sweet potato fries and pork carnitas. Excellent service and so many gluten-free options on the menu.
Karolina Cermanová: Scrumptious and just enough spicy. The famous sweet potato fries fullfiled my expectations, veggie burito is my another favourite. Great place to grab a bite and drink.
Tata: Steamed mussels & steak...what else can I ask for??? Deliciously beautiful!
Ed Woodcock: The little pork things are weird but the beef red Thai curry, Tom yum and sea bass are utter awesome.
Dean McVey: Turn up & wait. This place has had a queue since it opened three years ago. Drink singha beer, eat the tom yam soup & pad thai, its very authentic & being in the heart of student land means vibrancy.

Jimmy Gale: Really great sweet potato fries. The service was a little slow but not outrageous, if kind of went with the ambience of the place. Really enjoyed both the food and venue itself.
Filia: A hidden bar under the stairs with great music and pleasant environment will make you love it from the first moment!
Illegal Jack: Decent table service bar, great ambience, limited draft beer range, and grouchy management. I'm here a lot, I should know :)

Mark Ramsay: Their Festive menu is a delight, I woudl recommend booking on a Saturday evening as being in such close proximity to the Usher Hall and Lyceum Theatre it gets full fast Read more.
Elke De Pourcq: Red curry was the right kind of spicy! Very good flavours, nicely presented. We didn't get any tap water though, whilst other tables did, so make sure to ask.
Teresa H: In addition to the great food, amazing service and attention to detail. Plates were warmed, nice napkins neatly folded, water always filled right away. Cool silverware and dinnerware too!
