Towards the back of the establishment though the mood changes, tables are more spaced apart, and wide windows, that show off the local views, make for a well-lit dining spot. For starters, I indulged in the salmon bites, the dish is described as 'tikka marinated salmon, with a homemade raita dip pomegranate salad topped with crushed poppadom'.
