I went here twice before, the first time was amazing. Had the banquet and thought the food exquisite, the decor beautiful and refreshing for Canberra. Service was okay but slow. (this was over a year ago).

The second time I went with two others and got a seat and waited over 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. The waiters were oblivious to us and so we voted with our feet, left and went across the road to Cream.

Last night went for another birthday dinner. We all arrived at the door at 7.32 for our dinner reservation and were told they were about to phone us to give our table away (7.32 people no joke!). Wow.. Crazy!

I understand they want to make money but please give us a chance to arrive.
We all ordered the banquet, papadums came out straight away as did entree. Entree meals I found were a bit too dry and chicken over cooked. And then a bit of a wait for our mains. Sometime after 9.00 they arrived.

The main meals were rich and tasted nice, but I believe for the amount of money you pay, you don't get much. A bit tight for the high end price. I think the service in general was pretty good on the night.

The food left me less impressed. A shame as the first time I tasted their food I was blown away... and the food was still good but time to go exploring.
