01
Message ahead
Most of the day is spoken for before opening. A note in the morning is the difference between eating what you wanted and eating what’s left.
02
Come hungry
Portions are built around lamb sold by the pound. Two and a half pounds of shoulder is one order.
03
Keep your tip
There is nobody to tip and the chef won’t take one. Come back instead.
There are few things more personal than food.Mohd Mahd · chef & owner
