Our server was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was so good. The lychee cocktail was delicious. The wagyu beef was a real winner, as was the spicy crab udon. The spicy tuna bites were good (as others have also noted). Totally recommend!

Enjoyed every minute of our meal! Service was impeccable and recommendations were gratefully appreciated. In my very fussy and not easily impressed husband’s words…..the best food he has had! We quickly booked in for next week.

Everything was up to the usual standard; the steak was cooked to perfection. The wait time was great, especially considering that they were busier than usual. We will be back for sure.

What an experience! The food was next level. Traditional flavours done to fine dining. Service was exceptional. The theatrics of doing a pineapple rum shot from the caramelised bone was truly memorable! I seriously couldn’t pick a favourite dish. Already planning to return so I can try more dishes. Thank you, Serai!!

    Best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Delicious, real depth of flavour. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Some unusual dishes such as vegetable fritters which were Devine. Great service. Couldn’t do enough for us and were very friendly. A definite must go to restaurant in a convenient location.

    Great Balinese food at affordable prices in the CBD. Lovely decor, much better than similarly priced eateries. Excellent service from friendly, attentive staff.

    Excellent Thai food. The watermelon salad is outstanding. Red duck curry is so flavourful and the generously portioned chicken spare ribs are so good.
