Looked at some reviews and this little place in Angel/Islington seemed to come out on top. The restaurant is one or two tables wide and stretches right back. We took at seat at the window at the front, watching the goings on of Upper Street.
We took advantage of the two for £10 cocktails. Dad ordered a Mojito, it was beautiful and sharp, he is now very much looking forward to the cocktails in New Orleans, where the family is going later this year. There was so many to choose and I couldn't make my mind up. The barman kindly asked me my favourite spirit and mixer and came up with a brand new one, service or what!
It was lush!
For dinner I opted for the vegetarian Thai Green Curry, this is one of my favourite dishes, and it did not disappoint. Flavours were rich, spicy and authentic. Coupled with jasmine rice, I could have happily eaten another bowl full.
Dad went for the Tamarind Duck, he absolutely loves duck, so this was the meal for him. He said it had been cooked well, and full of flavour thanks to the chef's signature sauce. Truly scrumptious!
The quality of the meal and cocktails together with the Tastecard discount made the place a real steal. I recommend a visit!
