Most Disliked
Despite its many strengths, some diners have noted that the wait times can be longer during peak hours. While the staff tries to keep things moving, busy nights might require some patience before your meal arrives.
A few guests have mentioned parking can be limited in the area, making it tricky for those driving to get to the restaurant without a hassle. Some diners suggest opting for public transport or making sure to arrive early to secure a spot.
Lastly, while the vibrant flavors are a highlight for many, those who prefer milder tastes might find certain dishes a bit more intense than expected. It’s always a good idea to ask for recommendations if unsure about spice levels.
