Really enjoyed lunch at this pleasant location just a block from the waterfront. Friendly staff and a variety of special items for the day were all very tempting. I had the lamb pops with figs abd they were seasoned very well. My brother had a bowl of Cioppino which was very hearty. We shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp and they were very good but a little oversalted which is unfortunate. My wife had a soup several which was a thick curry served with bacon crumbles. The bacon paired well with the sweetish soup. Service was very good and I can't wait to come back and try some dinner entrees.

First time having lunch here. We were warmly greeted, shown to our table and given water. Our server, Anastasia, explained the specials and took our drink orders. A good start because my coffee came with cream in a jug and an actual coffee spoon (take note other restaurants!). The coffee was excellent, no bitterness and hot. I ordered the Lamb Biryani Lollipops as I’d seen it on the menu earlier and I love lamb and curry spices. I was not disappointed. The lamb was perfect - succulent, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. I didn’t need the fries, but they were delicious too. My wife was very happy with her chicken and the house made chips. Overall, a delightful experience and a menu that made me want to try every item on it - we will definitely be back!
