TESTIMONIALS

Hi Chef SIA. 
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for creating such an incredible menu for Mo’s birthday! Everything was absolutely delicious and I’m still getting messages from everyone raving about the food - especially asking about the flowers in the palette cleanser haha… thank you for allowing us to taste your amazing food and for explaining each item on the night. - MAHEEN
