This is one of those places that you love or hate. Personally i like it in here but i think that in order to have a good meal without waiting about a hour for a table and queuing up the stairs you have to get there early, plus the earlier that you eat the cheaper it is. I would recommend that you go for a late lunch, eat as much as you want and have a snack later. Whenever i’ve been the food has always been nice but the drawback is the seating it reminds me of a school canteen as its plastic seating and looks more like a cafe than a restaurant.

A catastrophic experience 26th October 2007

I was one of a group of more than 12 persons decided to dine at this restaurant. I arrived earlier with my wife and 4 years son so I asked the staff for a small table till they arrange for a one for us all (as they said that it wouldn't be available before half an hour). they refused however to let us sit before the place is ready for the whole group!! there was no waiting area and we were ordered to stand behind some sign just next to the main door! when I tried to disagree as waiting for half an hour in the out area where it's cold (next to an open door) and there's no place to sit would be very distressing, the staff girl talking to me became very rude. I asked for the owner of the place but told that he's not there. then asked to speak to the manager, the same girl told me that she's the manager!! I was appauled by the unreasonable roles and the staff rudeness.later on was pressured by my freinds go in with them after I left the place angrily.

The service is way below average as they've got this bizarre system of paying in advance: You should be seated whilst you inform the waitress about the number of people eating in then you must follow her to the bar area to pay and order for drinks!! The food is generally good in variety but the the quality is just average at the best. The setting and atmosphere is simply awfull. very poor facilities and dirty toiletts. It was a very unpleasant experience. my basic mistake was listening to naive friends rather than the previous reviews. I would recommend this place only to those who did it first to me, they don't deserve ant better!!
