    This is my favourite restaurant!!! As a vegetarian it’s so good to have a place that serves a variety of food. Each dish tastes delicious!!! Every time we visit, we are never disappointed, this place is even a favourite for my meat eating friends. Please write a cookbook and open a restaurant anywhere near Romsey, Winchester & Chandlers Ford .

    A genuinely warm experience throughout. Let me digress, the service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and familiar. The food was bursting with flavour, great texture and an ideal amount of spice. Everything tasted like it was cooked with actual passion and care. Myself and my partner had the social set menu which was a superb serving size and gave us a chance to flavour a good amount of the delicious food. The atmosphere matched, it was intimate, quiet and comfortable. I would proudly recommend this place.

    All the food is absolutely delicious. The whole menu is vegetarian with most being vegan but you don’t miss meat as the variety and flavour of the menu is brilliant. The cocktails are also homemade, original and very tasty. The staff are very attentive especially to my friend with allergies. Great food and service. Highly recommend.
