Waited more than an hour for the main course because Uber Eats requests were being prioritized.

Dear Diogo, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please allow me to extend my sincerest apologies for the long wait you experienced. It's truly disappointing to know that your dine-in experience was impacted by delays caused by takeaway orders. We deeply value every guest who chooses to sit at our table, and it’s never our intention to let delivery operations compromise the quality of our in-house service. Your feedback is a clear reminder that balance is crucial, and we are already working on improving our coordination so this does not happen again. We genuinely appreciate your patience and honesty, and we hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the seamless and enjoyable experience you deserve. Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal

We booked the table with 30% discount and the restaurant said the offer not valid. We still need to wait for an hour after reservation and the food came out not hot at all. Poorly done and very disappointed

Caro Max, Agradecemos por compartilhar a sua experiência e lamentamos sinceramente que a sua visita não tenha atendido às suas expectativas. Gostaríamos de esclarecer a questão em relação ao desconto de 30%. A nossa promoção é limitada a um número máximo de 20 pessoas durante a semana e 10 pessoas durante os fins de semana. Quando o limite é atingido, o desconto é automaticamente não disponível para novas reservas. A nossa recomendação é sempre verificar o e-mail de confirmação enviado pela plataforma The Fork, onde é possível confirmar claramente se a reserva foi feita com o desconto aplicado ou não. Isso garante total transparência no processo. Lamentamos também pela demora no atendimento e pelo fato de a comida ter chegado fria. Sabemos que isso pode afetar negativamente a experiência gastronómica, e pedimos desculpas pelo transtorno causado. Estamos avaliando a situação para garantir que este tipo de problema não se repita e que o nosso serviço seja mais eficiente no futuro. Atenciosamente, Krishna
