What a beautiful evening at love letter for the steak and pasta night! I had a scallop to start which was just divine and super tasty. The pasta al la vodka I couldn’t resist, it was a great flavour and the pangrattato made it. For dessert- I had the rhubarb meringue and I’m still thinking about it. Cosy wine bar, good vibes and even better food, I will be back.

The food was the best Indian we have ever had, the Gunpowder Tiramisu was heavenly. The night we went, the service was slow and erratic. Seemed to be missing a staff member or 2. But with the service issue resolved, this would be a highly recommend place for special occasion Indian fusion dining.
