"I had the Early Bird Special with some friends and it was delicious!
The pork pring rolls are so juicy, then had the chicken friend rice which you can never go wrong with. To top it off, a lovely vanilla ice cream with a wafer. Very friendly and helpful staff and a favourite place to go."

"Had the Early Bird lunch menu.
The crisp chicken samosas were undeniably small but tasty. However the chicken and assorted veg curry was delicious - the rice came in its own container and there was plenty of curry and rice! Had the banana fritter to complete a very good value meal. The service was very attentive too - the food arrived hot which is always welcome! Thanks again!"
