I’m happy to be able to have this space where people can get a chance to savour my style of cooking and cuisine. People would often message me via social media to ask where is my restaurant or if I have a restaurant so now I can answer their messages with a yes and an address. Due to the pandemic, in-house dining is restricted but customers can takeout or via UberEats. We are open from 12 noon to 6 pm Tuesdays to Saturdays and will be opening soon on Sundays for “Sunday Dinna” which is a Pick up only group/family special.
