"A deeply imperfect, ludicrously inventive spot that mixes street‑food roots with bricks‑and‑mortar eccentricity, yielding wildly mixed results. The tiny, bright upstairs contrasts with a dingy basement and the execution can’t always match the idea — classic street‑food versions nearby often outclass the restaurant’s attempts — yet playful new plates frequently triumph: silky salmon with a zesty coriander dressing, a roast‑pepper sauce that pulls together a halloumi filling, and an “exceedingly silly” cheeseburger dumpling that somehow works. With winning prices, strong side dishes and hit‑and‑miss desserts, it’s a flawed but exciting place buoyed by overheated inventiveness." - George Reynolds
