"Checked this place out with one of my friends after a tiring day exploring the city and getting rained on lots. Super lovely and laidback yet also really attentive staff. Really appreciated the dedicated vegan menu as it makes it much easier to look through wished the main ingredients were listed on the menu, as some dish titles were a little vague and I wasn't sure what to order! Though I asked one of the waiters and he was really helpful and could list off the bat what was in the dishes, so it wasn't too much trouble. I ended up ordering the vegan Wee Buddha curry. The portion sizes were massive and that alone justified the price point in my opinion, it took me like over an hour to finish my dish. Even moreso though, the food tasted wonderful the veggies were super fresh and flavourful, and the rice had that perfect sticky texture that restaurants don't always get right. The food was piping hot when it arrived and I had to let it cool for quite a while, which tends to be a fairly reliable indicator of quality, in my experience at least and it was true on this occasion for sure. We also didn't have to wait very long at all for our food either. Also worth a mention, the vibe and decor of the place is really nice relaxing! And not usually a fan of music in the background, but it was an appropriate volume and whoever was on playlist duty was working overtime because the songs slapped, it was tune after tune. Overall, I'm pretty glad I sorted out where we'd eat in advance of our trip, as this place didn't tend to come up on any suggested Maps searches or in recommendations I was looking at for veggie/vegan food. Which I'm really surprised about given how good it is, and the really decent number of dishes on offer. Underrated I guess? Hope it gets some more hype! <3"

"I reserved the function room for a party of about 25 people. The space was perfect, beautifully arranged with its own private bar, and we were able to decorate and play our own music through the sound system. The staff were fantastic, the drink prices were very reasonable, and everyone had a fantastic time. However, there were a few issues that I want to mention for anyone else planning to book. With better communication before the event, I believe these could have been easily resolved. The venue was very helpful and responsive during the booking process, but after I confirmed my reservation, I had trouble getting responses to my emails or phone calls until the day of the event. This led to them not being able to coordinate dinner orders as I had requested. There were not enough menus for the whole party, so wait staff handed them out sporadically, leading to a very staggered food service. Some guests waited hours for their meals, which was embarrassing as the host. Additionally, the rounds of drinks that I had pre-ordered to be served as a surprise throughout the evening were announced near the beginning of the event due to an internal miscommunication. We also had to vacate the room for a downstairs booth at midnight instead of the requested 2am, which should have been clarified in advance. Despite these issues, it was still a great night with wonderful memories. I would consider booking again, but would recommend eating beforehand next time."
