"Terrible. I ordered momos, Everest lamb and steamed rice. You get about 10 momos with the broth and side which is acceptable for £10. On a first bite yes they are nice but then you look and realise they are all far too uniform and are shop bought absolutely not made on the premises so I could have zipped to oriental express and got some for the freezer! No happy. The broth was a bit bland. Then we move to the curry do you think the customer is stupid? I could taste allspice and it hadn’t cooked out so was horrible and overpowering. The lamb was as tough as old boots so had not cooked off enough either. I was gonna give leftovers to my teen son but I chucked it down the toilet instead as I want him to know quality and this was not how Nepalese food should taste. What sort of clowns are running this parade?!!"

"Fantastic place beautifully decorated and a good size, with tables comfortably apart which I appreciate. The staff are polite, friendly and swift to act. The food came incredibly fast, was just the right temperature and was absolutely delicious! Just the right portion sizes, so please treat yourself to a starter and dessert as well. Their desserts were absolutely outstanding, the high point of a brilliant meal can't recommend them highly enough. Perfectly reasonably priced, a wonderful experience all round. About all I can suggest is please introduce even more options! Can't wait to see what else you can create!"

"I stopped at this small beautiful place for the end of my visit in york and it was an amazing place. we had not enough time to enjoy all the dishes so that we tried 5 of them - roasted califove, fried chicken, spicy beef tartar, loaded octopus and lambs boil. fried chicken- it could be the easiest dish of this 5 but was quite tender enough. spicy beefy wetar- my favorites from the 5. it's just so amazing with fresh bark and tasty sauce. the award-winning otopus- it is a drop-small comparison with the price, but the otopus was really tender. the lamb bell. it is tender and juicy. the only part I didn't like so much was that I could still taste the stinking part of the lamb. the service was great and the interieur was cozy and beautiful. I really like this place and come back when I go back to york!"

"The Lemon Sugar crepe came loaded with cinnamon by default. I am allergic. When i pointed out that Cinnamon was not noted as contents the manager tried to justify it by saying the business was not obligated to tell me what was in the crepe Then she came over to where I was sitting to tell me again how she was right and I was wrong Eventually the manager gave me a full refund. But really I wasn’t looking for that. I was just looking for a simple and much cheaper apology."

"The food was stunning. We went for the chefs selection which was the 5 courses. I loved every dish!!! I was also left feeling full with the generous loaf of beautiful bread that is given at the start of the meal, to accompany the courses. There was also canapes before the meal while we had a drink in their bar area. The service was also outstanding, everyone very knowledgeable about the wines and courses. It was a very pleasant and tasty experience. My only slight negative would be that it just is a little too stark. There isn't really any atmosphere. It's just too bright inside. I was hoping once it got a little darker outside that they would lower the lights for a more intimate dining experience but it didn't happen. It leaves me feeling very aware of the other diners. It is hard to relax into a meal when you're so aware of the room and the people. If they can turn the lights down then it would be a perfect dining experience.... if you have the cash! A variety of foods, from potato, scallops (2, which was generous! , fish, pork, and there was a lovely generous eccles cakes, flat breads, apple etc to go with the cheese. You get to choose the cheese as they bring a trolley to you so that was also great. Lovely wines for each course which matched the food so well too."
