Visited this branch before heading back to Brum at around 7pm on a Saturday - and was surprised at how quiet it was. There were two of us and we were seated right away, with no wait to order and just over 10 minutes for the food to come.

Good first impressions of the branch. In a nice location near to the Tube station. Lots of other bars and eateries around here too so am sure it's always busy at other times.

We were seated over to the back right on a table of two right next to another table, even though there were dozens of tables not next to someone else available. Was fine though! Nice layout of some tables and booths. Plants/beds are raised with booths being separated by them, so it does make for some good privacy if you get one of these. The toilets are downstairs and the wall that hides the stairs is a sort of lattice effect with some painting directly on it which was a nice feature.

The chicken was average but did have an extra bit of sauce on it - and there were plenty of tables sauces on offer too, so the peri-peri fix was had!
