    We were really disappointed with our meal last night, especially as this restaurant had been recommended to us. The prawns had an unpleasant smell, so I didn’t feel comfortable eating them. I ordered pork belly but was served lamb instead, and the cabbage and kale were soggy, as though they had been microwaved. Overall, the food was very poor and fell well below our expectations. On a positive note, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and made sure we were well looked after with drinks. Unfortunately, the quality of the food let the whole experience down. Such a shame, as we had been looking forward to the meal.

    Delicious food with lots of flavour and choice, yummy cocktails and friendly staff. If you are looking for something different its definitely worth a try. It was a lovely experience to try Sri Lankan dishes which i have never had before. The resturant itself is not in the best location but its only a 6 minute walk to the more vibrant bars in Cheltenham.

    Great atmosphere and music. Only drawback is that our two hopper starters arrived 10 mins apart so my wife had finished hers before mine arrived. Otherwise great
