Food was great, service ridiculously slow, after 25 minutes or so went up to bar and asked for any kind of service???? No water, no drinks nothing. When we finally got served staff were pleasant... entrees finally arrived and were great along with mains. Bought a bottle of red and never offered another drink later when red finished so did not bother and would have probably ordered another bottle if asked. Suprisingly did not seem busy at all either??? Had not been for here years and never remember it being so quiet but anyway we had great company and food was excellent, seemed understaffed.

Had a lovely, cosy dinner here on Wednesday night. I didn’t expect much since it was my first time trying this restaurant, but the experience was amazing. The food was great—especially the pandan chicken parcels, which were crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of pandan aroma. The highlight, though, was the Nirvana bugs: super fresh, flavourful, and perfect with the coconut rice. The bartender also recommended a popcorn martini that smelled great and balanced the Thai/Indian flavours really well. Overall, delicious food and excellent service. 9/10 experience

Went for dinner for a 2nd visit. Great little restraint . Great atmosphere, service and delicious food. Good selection of lovely wine. Turned out to be open mic music night. Added bonus some great talent . Made for a very enjoyable night. Will go again when in town. Thankyou . Karen

Hubby had been here 26 years ago, I wasn’t excited looking at the exterior but this is a hidden gem! Cosy interior, sat in a little booth with kind lighting. Stapled menu’s. Very busy! Entree: Oysters…presentation was lacking but they were fresh with a pot of very tasty garnish. And oyster forks!! Yay as even oyster bar didn’t provide! Chicken tandoori was very nice. Main: Bug tails with Penang curry sauce…Delicious! And a side of stir fried vegetables with Thai basil and Kafir lime leaves. Very enjoyable and keep it a secret from the tourists 🤣 Highly recommend.

This place is a Darwin must visit! The dishes are incredible. Well portioned and incredibly flavoursome. Good range of alcohol also. Rice is not included with some dishes which is a suggestion for the restaurant to consider or larger portions at that price. The decor is eclectic and really adds to the unique charm of the restaurant. Great bar just next door for pre drinks otherwise there is a cocktail bar within which is also great for afters.
