👍👍 Tasty and fast food! Came for the burgers and will come again for the Indian dishes I saw on the menu. Interesting place with a fusion of flavours and cuisine. The burger did have a yummy Indian-spice dressing, I liked it. Interior decor is basic but does the job - has potential and is a nice big br...

🫤 The food is just, ok. But $30 for burger and no wow with it. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I like my chicken nibbles . Didn't even feel like eating the last one of those. Staff are nice and friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and space. The burger was just ok. The menu said smashburger, but...

Devil Burger

🫤 I am sorry to say this tasted no better than something I would make at home. Stale thick buns, under flavoured and overcooked patty, the Devil Burger was not good. My 5 friends ordered a variety of beef and lamb burgers, and even the wrap. All had massive issues. Somehow this was recommended to me...

👍 Went to see what all the fuss was about. We ordered the fried & grilled chicken, fried pickles, cornbread & cherry cobbler with a Long Island iced tea to wash it down. The winners were the cornbread and the Long Island ice tea (which was very long indeed). I wasn’t a huge fan of the grilled chicken...
