They were very accommodating on offering to serve that even though it was lunch time. Food-wise, everything tasted amazing. Both the tamarind prawns and the VeLa Omelet were full of Thai-inspired flavors. Highly recommended to try out.”

Generous amount of crab meat and the sauce has a little bit of kick which just balances the creaminess of the dish. My husband ordered the chef’s special which is catfish wrapped in banana leaf and veggies on the side. Overall, such a delightful meal!!!”
