Noticed this place looking for a restaurant in Westcliff, entrance just a small ornate alley way between other buildings but took my attention straight away. Feels like you really have left Essex once your inside and the decor in the downstairs bar (quite shag pad) and upstairs restaurant (fantastic chairs) are equally great and suit the different atmospheres. Food was i thought (and im a student) totally reasonable (mixed starter, sweet and sour pork, chicken noodles and egg fried rice, all delicious, came to around 12 pounds each plus drinks) and the staff were very friendly. Almost empty when i arrived but began to get busy after about half past 8 on a Thursday night. Also a beautiful little balcony which manages to make Westcliff seem picturesque with views of the sea and very comfortable. I feel like I've found a real gem here tucked away in Westcliff (opposite Thai Nova). Thank you for a fantastic night! Of course it helped having fantastic company, which i cant vouch for. Thank you Megan for making my evening perfect xx read more
