> Food was amazing!!! We couldn't get enough and were constantly eyeing other diners' plates. We were a little disappointed in Christchurch's food scene the first 2 nights but this completely changed our minds. Get the tea salad and crumbly fish to start. Eggplant was yummy as well!, Pearl Lin, 7 months ago
> Best food I’ve had in a long time. Spices were so balanced and special. Would definitely come back. If you like to try little dishes and share it‘s just perfect., Elena Liebel, 7 months ago
> The tea salad is always a go to! The fusion of flavours in every dish is very well executed, creating a unique and delicious dining experience. The staff are always efficient, friendly, and polite, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend!, Taro, 3 months ago
