We hosted our annual gala here and it was nothing short of perfection! The venue was absolutely stunning, the atmosphere elegant and warm, the food delicious, and every detail was spot-on. The entire staff team was friendly, professional and incredibly attentive, they made the night flow seamlessly. A special, massive thank you to Hazel, the manager, who was an absolute superstar from start to finish. She handled my million-and-one questions with endless patience, warmth and understanding, and made sure everything ran like clockwork. Hazel’s calm professionalism and genuine care made all the difference and took so much stress off our shoulders. Our guests are still raving about the evening! Huge gratitude to Hazel and the whole team, you made it unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back! I had such a lovely experience here! I helped my sister plan her engagement, and from the moment we reached out, the team here was incredibly supportive and helpful. They made the entire process so much easier, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to work with. The staff are not only friendly but genuinely caring, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible—everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. It added such a special touch to the event and left all the guests raving. The event itself turned out perfectly! It was everything we hoped for and more, and the whole day ran so smoothly without any hiccups. I had so much fun working with the team; they made the whole planning experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to eat or planning an event, I can't recommend this place enough. Whether it's a casual meal or a special celebration, they know how to make it memorable. This was truly a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be back for more! Service was excellent, the staff were very professional and helpful making sure to meet all our needs. Food was amazing and well presented. Have been here a few times and never got disappointed with food choices I’ve tried their chicken burgers, poke bowl, chicken breast meal, steak burger and chicken strips and so far they were all delicious. Quite surprised the rooftop only has 4 stars. It is strangely located and at first it was hard to find.

Review the Rooftop restaurant. Situated at 99 Oxford Road. With a rooftop terrace, indoor and outdoor seating. Comfortable, friendly staff, and delicious meals with affordable specials offered frequently. We enjoyed a heartwarming breakfast meal and a cappuccino. Our waitress Susan was attentive to our needs. Service charge included in the bill. Safe parking.

This is a hidden gem. On the second floor of a medical practice could be very easily missed. The atmosphere was very nice and excellent service. The food does take a little bit of time to prepare but good food usually does and it's well worth the wait. Served portions are very well and pricing is decent. As it is a Halal establishment no alcohol is served or allowed on the premises.
