Reading the previous review - it was a shame we didn't know abt the Group On offer - we paid almost $250 per personand vowed to come back with it, but after our visit the only thing I'll come back for is the live band.The foodThe 1st thing we were asked by the waiter was "did we have the Group On voucher" and were disappointed to hear that there wasa "special menu" for those customers.

The food
The 1st thing we were asked by the waiter was "did we have the Group On voucher" and were disappointed to hear that there was
a "special menu" for those customers. So, we chose a-la-Carte. I remember from my 1 visit to an Ethopian restaurant (in North London)
the interesting dish of this pancake-bread with bowls of food that you eat with your hand, by tearing off the bread.
To me delight they did have this on the menu, but they then said we had to order in advance..!
So we ordered a 3-stage platter of snacks. Spicy meatballs which were fine, spring rolls and also battered plantain.
They were ok, not very filling and pretty pricey for what you're getting. We were told that pretty much half the menu
we had to order a day in advance?!
The drinks
Drinks were African-inspired cocktails and the usual selection. Tried 4 cocktails between us they were
fine but interesting how it was Happy Hour and still ended up costing $73 each (abt $95+ normal price).
Service, decor and music
This was a highpoint, the band is very good. Decor is well-done and looks great. Lighting is dimmed, good for couples
on a date but also some areas used for large group gatherings.
