Food was all amazing. Very tasty, spicy if you are amenable to a bit of heat. Staff were friendly but a little inexperienced - first cocktail came out 30 minutes after my husband’s beer and two starters consumed, water had to be asked for. Apart from that had a lovely dinner. Would recommend.

Did not live up to the hype of other reviews we had read. Service was poor, food was ok. rotis were oily and left a strange taste in the mouth. The peanut sauce serving that came with two rotis was only enough for half a roti. Will not be going back.

Food was delicious and prepared quickly, minimal wait between courses. The rice servings are very large, a single one is suffice for 3 or 4 adults. Highly recommend the laughing tiger beef and Massaman Curry. The roti was super crispy and flaky however the peanut sauce that comes with it is too small and not enough. Overall service was friendly and great. Our only issue was we had BYO birthday cake and was advised there was a $5 corkage which was fine, however when time to settle the bill was advised that it was actually $3 per person - not reasonable in my opinion given that they did not cut or serve the cake. Only provided small plates and knife to self serve.

Magnificent! This is our second visit. First visit we left puzzled about why everyone was raving about it. Anyway, we tried it again and this time it was superb. Lamb rendang, prawn pad thai and roti with peanut sauce were all magnificent. We are now converts. What happened the first time? No idea, but it's like it's a different place. Service was a bit vague. It's noisy. If you prefer it quieter, book later. Many people were leaving by about 8.30pm.

Really good find. Food was delicious and plentiful. The let down was the added surcharge at the bottom of the bill for weekend dining
