"African rice was awesome."
"Food was fab ... loved the chorizo, prawns and sweet potatoes."
"The most delicious grilled chicken ever. Very tasty n juicy."
"The food tasted well."
"The piri piri chicken was very salty and they did forget the fries Unfortunately."
"The chicken was excellent, as I would have it back in Portugal - very tasty."
"Absolutely delicious!! Amazing quality food and really worth the money, had the peri chicken, cabbage, African rice."
Cons:
"They have a good variety of starters, but there is just one primary main option - chicken, which is not really great on my opinion."
"The chicken was good, but I found the flavour to be quite muted and worst of all it was dry."
"The food is overpriced for what you get. The chicken we ordered was overcooked."
"The all included set meal was disappointing. The talk of our company event the next day was how unseasoned and bland the cauliflower was."
"The chicken is well spiced and well cooked so a little crispy outside but moist inside."
"Food was decent... good flavours on the chicken but disappointed with the chips as they were a little cold."
"The Portuguese empanada with kale is amazing, a pocket of bursting flavors."
"The chorizo was cooked to perfection and the pickled chilli's were a fantastic addition."
Service

"Customer service was top notch too."
"The staff were extremely friendly and attentive!"
"The staff is amazing. A special thanks for the waitress Raquel for her kindness and professionalism."
"Service is really excellent! The staff really take care of you and help you order."
"The staff were polite and knowledgeable."
"The service was excellent. As soon as we got in there was a table ready."
Cons:
"The staff isn't the most friendly, but they are polite."
"The main reason for a lower rating... the server continually trying to sell us more food and being somewhat annoying by the end of the meal."
"Service was awful. Staff constantly forgetting drinks orders."
"I asked to speak to a manager. A different manager came over and I explained that as it was so late, and there were so many of us, I wanted to sort the bill out separately to this event as I could tell no one was happy to pay for the shocking service we had received."
"The staff did the barest minimum possible for what was an expensive meal. If you're charging a 12.5% service charge, you expect the service to be good."
"The staff are terrible. They were so slow, inattentive and inept! They kept messing up the order and took ages."
"Service was a huge let down. Not advised of set menu when booking. Priced at £35pp excluding a 12.5% service charge. Not value for money."
"The service was great, with very attentive and friendly staff."

"Gorgeous Delicious Food! This place caters to vegans but the chicken and chorizo is a must!"
Cons:
"It’s quite noisy so maybe not the spot for an intimate date but great for a group dinner or catch up."
"Atmosphere on a Saturday lunch was understandably very loud and overwhelming, as one would understand."
"There was also an actual mouse (!!!) running around in a part of the restaurant near us and when we alerted the servers they threw out a casual sorry and had little to no reaction."
"The restaurant has a nice vibe to it and is nicely decorated, so that saved the meal a bit but still feel let down."
"Atmosphere was really lively. Felt like we were on holiday during a fairly miserable month!"
"The atmosphere was good and the food was great. The service was good but the staff weren't 100% in terms of knowing their menu."
"The restaurant had a open community bench setting, high ceiling and lots of natural light."
"The restaurant is over two floors and there's a separate speak-easy bar in the corner of the second floor."
