"I cannot understand how this restaurant accepts table reservations when it is apparently closed for 6 months. We had booked an early dinner from their website after a theatre visit in Tunbridge Wells and arrived at 5.30 to find the place eerily boarded up with mail gathering on the door mat. Enquiring next door we were told it had shot for 6 months. Fortunately next door accepted us even though they were fully booked on that evening. There was no indication on the website that it was closed. This is inexcusable. Suppose we had been a family group out for a special celebration evening? Will not be visiting again if it reopens!!"

"No booking to an empty restaurant given a time limit?! I went with a friend that recommended this very restaurant. Out of courtesy both my friend I chose a meal that wouldn 't take too long due to a restricted time. I was not all impressed by the flavour to the meat. There were flies around the place, so tried to look past that! Every 15 mins or so a new waitress would veer to take the plates in the space of 1 hr and urged for the next dish. Even before finishing we had finished our meal. I found of poor grace put us off wanting to even order more. After complaining to the rude approach of disturbing a meal. The manager admitted that they wanted the table for someone else. So rushing us to eat and force the bill then shove us out in making us feel uncomfortable, even given a time restraint one should not have to be pressured to rush even half way through a meal. Yet still be urged to buy more food. I 've never felt so disgusted with the atmosphere, attitude and staff including manager/owner of this restaurant. The service from all round was not pleasant. If considered fully booked it is advised to be mindful not to take anymore bookings. Not recommended at all. Meal type: Dinner Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"The restaurant offers excellent food with quick service in a beautiful and clean venue at a fair price. The dishes, including Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, Salt Pepper Squid Tempura, Chicken Massaman Curry, and Coconut Rice, are all delicious. I was extremely satisfied and will definitely come back. The service, atmosphere, and recommended dishes all receive a perfect rating of 5. The average price per person for a dinner meal is between £30-40."

"Went for Sunday lunch, waited an hour for food which wasn’t ideal. Main issue was dogs! Why oh why have the management decided dogs can be everywhere? Used to be just in the bar area, but now in restaurant too? We had to listen to a very yappy dog throughout meal (owner should have taken it outside) and then a table next to us came in with two dogs, set up a smelly dog blanket right behind our seats no I don’t want a pudding now thanks and I have a dog myself (which was at home) so this isn’t coming from someone who doesn’t like dogs. Please change this policy! Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1"
