    Bottomless Brunch 10/10 Came for bottomless brunch with the girls, got one of everything off the menu (there were 4 of us - so worked out) and made the most of the drinks. All really good and the service was excellent. We'll be back for sure!

    Discovered this place online and decided to give it a go. We had a Tapas each to start with and were very satisfied. The salsa served with the mozzarella sticks was amazing. Main courses : my wife and my daughter chose a burger from a bewildering selection and they were fantastic. So were the sides served with them. The batter used on the onions and chicken is heavenly. I had the mixed grill. Very reasonably priced and huge but not just that, very good quality meat. A whole large chicken breast, a lovely piece of beef, perfectly cooked, sausages (very tasty) and some green beans too. No desserts served by restaurant but they do have dessert cocktails if you are still thirsty. We will be back.

    The Kiev wings and salt and pepper chicken strips were divine. My friend had ordered on a few occasions and it looked lovely. We were really impressed. Fresh good quality tasty food

  • 1/5 Ryan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was late and under cooked. Never spoken to more ruder staff in my life. Plus went for a smile and the bouncer said £10 or I cant go back on so I rung my wife and she met me outside. We will never be going back. What a disaster.

    Booked Illuminati for my sisters hen do. We did a cocktail making session and it was sooo much fun! We had a private room upstairs which I was allowed to decorate beforehand, and the staff were so helpful. Lou hosted the cocktail making and she did an amazing job. At the end she told us it was the first time doing it, we were so shocked! There were two other bartenders too, who were also so great, I'm sorry I forgotten your names. Probably because you got us very merry! Shots and cocktails flowing. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening 😊

    Ordered a takeaway, food very bland and tasteless. Probably the worst takeaway I've eaten for a long time. Expensive too. Best thing about the meal was the presentation in lovely boxes, pity I couldn't eat those. Sorry but won't eat there again

    Very unique place in Dubai. Delicious food, great selection of drinks. Friendly staff, especially Estefania, she is very friendly and will explain every dish on the menu. They have also great show.

    I originally paid and booked this venue for a private function however due to several people not being able to come we finally managed to re-arrange. However when I made my reservation I was told it was £200 so when we re-arranged I asked for the upstairs which was £100, but apparently its now £200, they refused to offer me a refund and wouldn't let me use the £100 to pay for drinks. I ended up sacking it off and didn't get a confirmation saying it was re-arranged and if you are still happy to go ahead few days before.

    In terms of originality and quality of food this is good restaurant. Price wise it is expensive and portions are rather small. Served by Jake, who was a considerate fella and aimed to impress.
