Came for a dinner with my family. Food was delicious, especially the biryani. Staff were friendly and helpful when ordering as it was our first time eating Mauritius food. Owner also came out and was super friendly again guiding us on what to get. Restaurant was clean and decorated nicely. Would definitely come again

What a lovely evening we had here. Everything was perfect, and Hema and Ming were great hosts.
The place had a good vibe about it, plenty of pics of Mauritius, colourful with some nice touches.
Staff were 1st class, we were quite a large group, and we messed them about a bit on numbers, but it was no problem.
The food was 1st rate, all freshly cooked. We ordered in advance, but Hema gave us some good tips for extras to add on the night.
I had the Dhall Puri to start, and the flavours were amazing, with a delicious split peas fillong wrapped in a soft flat bread.
For the main i went for the fried Noodles. The name doesn't do it justice, it was sweet and smoky with fresh, tasty ingredients - an excellent dish.
I have to say that everyone really enjoyed the evening, there were no complaints, which is unusual :). Thanks guys, I'm sure we'll be back.

Had a fab meal for my partner's birthday a few nights ago. The couple who run the business are so friendly and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. The lady who owns the business is from Mauritius, so its all totally authentic. It can be really spicy too if you like it spicy (or mild if not!) We tried a wide variety of things. I'm veggie and there were tons of options for me. Everything was really great. We'll be back!

Really lovely place with great cocktails. We had the Mango Rum and the Espresso Martini, lovely and strong!! The owner and staff are super friendly and happy to talk about their passion for Mauritius. We will be back for the food very soon, which looks great and completely authentic. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend!
The food was so delicious, homemade and so authentic in flavour. We loved the themed interior, fish tank and gentle music in the background. Recommend the cheese samosas. The octopus croquettes were also super yummy. For mains we ordered goat curry and salmani chicken. We ordered sides of roti and parantha. The portion sizes were more than enough for us and left overs were happily packed away for us to take home. Everything tasted so fresh and moreish and was topped off with a great Tequila sunrise cocktail.
The evening was such a treat.. the chef Hema and her husband make a great team 👏
A new local favourite..
We will definitely be back for more!
Thank you so much for accommodating us ☺️

I pretty much turned up pretty on opening time. Very friendly staff and the food was great, excellent flavours.
I even bought some spices from the spice counter and was given a recipe from the owner. Cooked my first La Daube last night and it was lush (obviously not as good as yours 😉)
Will definitely be popping back in!
Thanks guys.

It is a great little restaurant. We went there for lunch. We tried taro fritters and octopus rougaille, tasted fantastic. The lady serving us was super friendly which made us feel welcome and added a bit more to the experience. Definitely wanting to go back.

Me and my girlfriend had our 5 year anniversary here. I read the reviews and everyone said that the food was lovely.
I can say that all these reviews were 100% correct. The food was amazing, I had the Dahl Puri starter and it was one of the best things ever, which she makes from scratch, as with everything. You can tell that everything was made fresh and homemade! We are definitely coming back and you should try if you haven't. They are very accommodating and the value for the quality of food is amazing!! Thank you very much for accommodating us. We will be back!

Had an absolutely fantastic evening here. Both food and cocktails were gorgeous, with food clearly freshly made by the owner herself. I read another review that said how obvious the owners passion is for what she does and I couldn't agree more. The decor and atmosphere was really fun, really feels like you're on holiday. But most importantly I cannot fault the friendly and courteous service, made us feel like members of the family. Will absolutely be returning 😊

We stumbled across this place on our way to another restaurant. We saw that they had a few vegetarian and vegan options so decided to try. It was DELICIOUS! Everything cooked to order; Hema was friendly and helpful. We ordered a Curry Burry (chickpea fritters) and a Red Kidney Bean Curry (with potatoes) as well as parathas and a portion of basmati rice. We had a train to catch so couldn't stay to try the desserts, but we will definitely come back with friends/family! The decoration is quite nice too, feels like a little escape to Mauritius. Prices were reasonable too.
