Restaurant
A former tea house, 2 floors and some outdoor seating, it's cute, not formal and best for an informal chat, tables are close together. If there's a negative (classic Hong Kong) too much bright overhead lighting (no one on earth looks good with overhead lighting) nor is there any music playing (would help set the tone).
Food
We ordered the potato croquettes a crispy fried ball of mashed potatoes served with a spicy "ketchup" but was more just a spicy sauce (not much tomato taste). Served hot and attractively, the sauce was quite nice but the potatoes themselves seemed little more than just that.
Next up was a trio of Middle Eastern dips (3 to select) with a freshly made chapti. Again nicely presented, the babaganoush lacked the required smokiness of eggplant and it little bland (we added a touch of salt). The roasted red pepper dip was excellent and spot on. Finally, simple hummus was sadly too think and more pasty than a dip (we added olive oil to try and thin it down).
The Paneer was the last hot dish and it was again attractively presented, the serving size was rather modest and I would deem it good (though not great).
Finally, dessert, an Indian rice pudding was likely the best dish of the evening, rice, coconut milk, nuts and spices it had a good mixture of sweet and spices with a little added crunch.
Various organic wines were available by the glass for HK$60.
Service
The staff was quite attentive and friendly. It's a new place and they were open to comments & suggestions. Tables are rather close together, think more coffee shop or tea house (how surprising).
Summary
The bill for 2 came to HK$600 which we concluded was a tad high, considering it's non-central location. None of the dishes were truly amazing and in fact, we were tad hungry leaving. If you're in the neighborhood, worth stopping in, but I probably wouldn't travel a great distance to eat here.
