Amir M.August 26, 2017So disappointed that they removed saffron rice off the menu. But still a good place to be.
Paul ShannonDecember 21, 2021Busy and worth taking a chance for a table as turnover quick. No reservations.
Neil BallantyneAugust 11, 2012Love this place...Firecracker Chicken washed down with a Ho Chi Minh Mule...yum.
You have to try the Phoenix and dragon, especially if your not into chilli. Absolutely full of flavour but with no heat. It's off the chain.
Seth VNovember 1, 2013Great cocktails! The zombie is quite fruity but a great way to start the night.
OMG firecracker chicken is superb, one of the hottest and tastiest dishes in town.
SplashFebruary 27, 2014Don't listen to them when they tell you the Firecracker Chicken is hot - it's only "Kiwi hot"!
Megan WallaceJuly 19, 2011Hit and miss, had awesome times there, and crap times. Told 45mins for table, waited at bar for almost 2hrs, for nasty over cooked food, just to be throwing it up 30mins after leaving. Not going back
With a group, waited 30mins for a drinks to come and after 80mins we have not seen our banquet food. Unacceptable lack of service.

"I would say that's the best bar we've found in Wellington. Cozy atmosphere and tasty drinks. The entrance is not that obvious — in the best traditions of hidden bars."
