    EVERYTHING PARKER ROLLS  KOMBU-CURED HAMACHI
    Mona A.

    The ambiance alone is worth the reservation. Redbird is tucked inside the former rectory of the historic Vibiana cathedral, it's one of the most beautiful restaurant spaces I've been to in LA. Between the courtyard, candlelight, lush greenery, and beautiful architecture, the whole place invites you to just slow down and really enjoy the company you're with. Chef Neal Fraser knew what he was doing. We ordered the Everything Parker Rolls, Kombu-Cured Hamachi (truly so flavorful), Black Cod, and the Lemongrass Ribs (super yum!!). Everything was amazing. Everything. The Parker Rolls with the date butter and the Black Cod were both so lovely. If it's your first visit and you have tastebuds, I'd definitely order both. The service matched the atmosphere perfectly. Everyone was warm and attentive. Valet was also very nice in DTLA. A special place for a special night with a special person.

    Came to Redbird over the weekend as we were celebrating a birthday. First impressions walking in, the staff was super friendly and I really liked how the bar was both inside and outside. Highly recommend paying for valet, as street parking is tough to find on the weekends. As for the food let's get into it: - Kombucha-Cured Hamachi (8/10) It's hard to mess up on a crudo, but this was a great start to the meal. - Garganelli (8.5/10) Pasta was cooked perfectly, had a nice kick/spice to it. Could easily eat two bowls of this. - Steak and Frites (8.5/10) Steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. Slightly pricey but I get it. Overall, I'd say it was a great dining experience as the service is the real reason for the 5 stars. Place might be a little pricey, but worth try once at least. Would I go again? Yes!

    Los Angeles RoadTrip Episode 5 Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress.. We have this big wide city all to ourselves.. We blocked the noise with the sound of "I need you".. And right there where we stood was holy ground.. Sitting, on holy ground (Frmr. Cathedral Bldg.), at the "Redbird".. We drank cold glasses of luscious Chardonnay... The Lass ate a "Grilled Branzino" perfectly cooked..but, somewhat sad, that the sauce the maitre d kindly poured on the Fish, softened the crisp skin. (in the old days, you would be flogged for that..:). All in all it was enjoyable. The Lad, ate a Wagyu Burger, that was superbly seasoned and cooked.."Rare-Med.-Rare" juicy deliciousness, This Burger was the most unctuous burger ever tackled in these Americas..:) Then dropping out of the sky on to our table (by friends) was a plate of "Caramelised Banana French Toast"...Yes, nicely sweet, just missing whip cream (it's 5'O'clock somewhere..:) A very pleasant relaxing restaurant with great grub too.. "Tonight, We are gonna dance like we are on Holy Ground..:) Best, Avram Blackbird Jr.

    Took my friends here who were visiting from out of town brunch. This wedding that weekend and hotel was right next to them. So was it a perfect option. We ordered the cod sandwich, congee, Lobster roll, and braised beef with a side of biscuits. Everyone enjoyed their food. Except maybe my friend who ordered the lobster roll. She felt it was really soggy lobster so she felt it might've been canned? My lobster was a good size and crispy The restaurant itself is beautiful, it was a nice day outside and it was Sunny. I love the decor, it gives off a natural airy feel. The service was standard. I feel like the was nothing wrong but nothing outstanding

    Went to Redbird in downtown LA for the first time with a party of seven and really enjoyed brunch. The ambiance is amazing--it's a beautiful restaurant and a great setting for a special meal. We tried quite a few things including the biscuits, shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, the crispy potatoes appetizer, and pancakes. Everything was really good, and the biscuits were especially a standout. The only small hiccup was that my son wasn't a fan of their take on the biscuits and gravy--he said it tasted more like a chili than what he expected. But the staff handled it perfectly. They were extremely helpful and friendly and immediately replaced it with something else that he enjoyed. Overall, it was a really nice experience with great food, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. While everything was good, the menu didn't quite pull us back for another visit, but it was definitely worth trying.

    Oh dear Redbird. My expectation for this restaurant was pretty high as I heard great things. I've been trying to try Redbird since Father's Day 2025. Just a back story on that, I made a reservation for June 15 2025, I received an email from the floor manager telling me all reservations have been canceled due to an event. Mind you, I get this email on June 13th. I was annoyed because I had to scramble and find a restaurant that had availability. I'm sure they knew of this event a while ago. So that was annoying. In September of 2025, I reached out to the floor manager, Ani, and tried to make a reservation for September 14th. She informed me that they will be closed for an event. So I reached out to Ani one last time to get a reservation for my anniversary on April 21st. We finally got in! So with all of the back and forth with Ani, I kind of expected them to go above and beyond. But unfortunately, I felt we were treated not so great. When we arrived, we waited a good 10 mins until the hostess greeted us. The time we were there, no one acknowledged our presence. When she finally came, she did apologized and walked us over to a big table in the farthest corner in the restaurant. Now mind you, it was only 3 of us, and they tried to sit us at a table that can seat 6, in a corner. No no, I'm not sitting there. I've literally been trying to come here for the past 9months and it's my anniversary. So I asked to be sat at a smaller table in the middle of the restaurant. Now, I'm familiar on how the seating works as it really comes down to the amount of servers you have and the amount of tables are within their section. But again, the manager Ani, was fully aware of my reservation and I felt that she should've provided better hospitality for us. So, once we were seated, we waited awhile for our waiter. When he finally showed up, we placed our order. We had drinks, appetizers, and our main meal. The menu is on the smaller side, so I expected the food to be overly delicious. But it was just ok. It was good, but not mind blowing. After dinner, I asked the waiter if I can speak with Ani. She came and I reminded her who I was and the back and forth emails we've had since July 2025. She knew right away. I told her I was a bit disappointed that the hostess was trying to sit us in the far corner. All she said was "oh sorry about that". That was it, no complementary dessert, or anything. Like wow! We've been treated so much better at other restaurants. It was real disappointing. I would not recommend this spot nor would I come back. I suggest the managers do more hospitality trainings.

    We tried the Dine LA menu last night with a couple of friends. The food was tasty and well presented. Loved the friendly staff, but they were very busy. Take one star away for the super-sweet summer dessert, and we couldn't stay longer because of the next reservation.

    The ambiance is fantastic: sexy lighting, warm and cozy, relaxing and spacious. We were there celebrating a friend's birthday since it's a beautiful place. The staff was also very friendly. They could have checked in on us a little more, but overall very attentive. That being said, the food, while gorgeously presented, was slightly underwhelming, especially compared to the first time I went; textures and salt levels falling short of ideal. I'm not sure if I was turned off by the price to portion ratio as well. Cocktails are great and there's a nice wine selection. I'd love to stop by again for just a drink at the bar, great vibe to drink and chat. Nice that they have valet, not too pricey.

    Absolutely amazing dinner! Everything was delicious. We were thrilled with the complimentary Brazilian cheesy rolls. One person in our group is vegetarian, and there were plenty of options for her on the menu. I ordered the clam pasta, which is one of my favorite dishes but can be very hit-or-miss depending on the clams. These clams were cooked perfectly with not even a speck of grit remaining in them, and the guanciale was the perfect addition for a nice burst of extra flavor. This was a delicious and memorable dinner, and I would certainly come back if I'm ever in LA again.

    I love a good Brunch spot... Tried RedBar with my sisters and between the ambiance, quality ingredients and taste, we were happy campers! [ ] Pear Salad: fresh with creamy goat cheese (noms) slightly spicy from black pepper and arugula, it's sooo good [ ] Basque Baked Eggs: spice-heavy though balanced. If you're nervous of spicy dishes, you'll enjoy the rich flavors without a sight of overwhelm [ ] Biscuits: decent, though not fresh (dined at end of brunch, so I get it) [ ] Blueberry Ricotta Pancake: simply decadent. A pancake lover's rejoice. Moist and buttery! [ ] Cod Sanwich: lemon & dill - cod was juicy with a tasty tempura finish, married by the garlic aoli.

    Another lovely brunch experience with our good friend and her beautiful toddler daughter, with an expanding palate. Redbird is an incredibly beautiful space to dine. I'd been here years prior for an event, but hadn't yet visited the restaurant. The pictures don't live up to experiencing the main dining space in person. Beautifully bright and open, with distinct color selections for the furniture and decor - simple, yet thoughtful. I knew the food was exceptional and it truly exceeded expectations. Cocktails we tried: Modern Mimosa Good Morning Vietnam 5 Easy Pieces - our favorite. Very light, flavorful, and refreshing. Food Selections: Pear Salad Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes Frittata Tempura Cod Sandwich Shrimp and Grits Basque Baked Eggs Buttermilk Biscuits Applewood Smoked Bacon Too much food on purpose because we wanted to try a little of everything and were happy to send the leftovers home to our friend's husband. Everything was very good. Standouts, however, were the Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes, Frittata, and the Tempura Cod Sandwich. I'm not a huge pancake fan, but these were like no other! Baby girl tore through the Frittatta lol. And the cod was cooked to perfection on the sandwich and paired with an amazing sauce. So good. The staff were extremely accommodating. Our reservation was shortly before they begin their transition to dinner and they allowed us to stay a while and catch up as they transitioned. Very kind. We will most definitely return for dinner and I'd love to dine in their lounge space soon as well. We had a wonderful time here.

    Steak frites-perfect fries, and the steak was perfectly seasoned.
    Juliane D.

    Delicious pre theater dining. There's something for everyone, from steak frites to pasta to Seabass to pork chop. This makes it difficult to say that the restaurant has a "specific point of view". But, with that said, it also makes for a profitable restaurant and a delicious meal so that's a WIN. Service is exceptional, vibes are immaculate! Located in the historic St Vibiana Cathedral - it's truly beautiful.

    Yes, we do have chairs for toddlers.

    Is the main dining room retractable roof remain open for better ventilation during the surge?

    Yes, the retractable roof remains open at all times unless we experience inclement weather.

    What time does your valet run? Is it open on Sundays during brunch?

    Hi Pas, We have valet available beginning at 5:00PM for dinner service, and beginning at 10:00AM… 

    What is the parking situation during Covid? Thinking about valet specifically, how potentially unsafe it is to let someone park your car, etc.

    Did valet back during the peak, no issues, but if you're worried you can probably park near little Tokyo self park options and walk up

    Do they still serve complimentary cheese bread ? They were the best.

    Hi Melody, We do still serve the cheesy pão de queijo bread complimenatary, we're so glad you… 

    How much is valet?

    We offer valet parking right out front for $14 per car. Thank you!

    As of October 2020, how much is the corkage fee?

    Hi Francis! Our corkage policy is $32 each for the first two 750ml bottles, then $50 each for the next two for a total of four bottles maximum. Please visit redbird.la/restaurant-with-outdoor-seating to see our outdoor dining options and to book a… 

    How is the store operating during Covid?

    Tables in the three courtyards and in the garden, and very very limited seating in the main dining room. Very well distanced.

    Where is the best sitting?

    The best sitting definitely has to be REDBIRD GARDEN. It's beautiful greenery, lighting, and feels secluded away from the city.

    Can a minor be present at happy hour?

    Yes. Happy hour is at any of their dining spaces so it's just like a reg dinner taking place.

    When is happy hour?

    Happy hour is 5-7 pm

    Are there vegan options?

    Yes.

    What's the parking situation?

    There's valet for I think $12 or $15 (sorry couldn't remember) and there's self park if you keep going east on 2nd, past Redbird and South Los Angeles St for half the price.

    Can I bring my own bottle of wine?

    I don't think they are BYOB!

    Is the outdoor area covered in case of rain?

    Yes, the roof in the courtyard is retractable so if it is raining the roof will be closed.

    We came for Dine LA, and this was way above my expectations. I knew it would be a chef-y place,…read morebut I didn't expect to love my meal so much. Dinner was $70 per person and consisted entirely of shared plates. It turned out to be plenty of food. We started with the roasted shishito peppers and the crispy pork belly. That pork belly was the best dish of the night - absolutely delicious. Next came the chickpea fritters, which were also really good. The roasted beet salad was up next. I hate beets. But I still liked this. I wouldn't order it again because, yeah, I really don't like beets. But if you like them even a little, you should get this. I actually ate several bites of this, and it was nice. The Sichuan Chili Bass presented a similar situation as I don't really like fish - but again, I ate this and it was quite tasty. Dessert was a "s'mores" situation - a messy, glorious bowl of chocolate, meringue, graham cracker crunch and strawberries. Service was awesome - perfectly pacing the meal. My friend had a couple of cocktails which were gorgeous. And the room is lovely and light. I don't love the neighborhood and parking can be tough. I definitely would come early unless you're taking a taxi. Genuinely surprised how much I liked this meal. Everything was very well done and clearly made with care without seeming fussy or too precious. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. This is a place to take your out-of-town friends to.

    So stoked that I finally got to try this place. It no longer has to be stuck in my "want to go…read moreplaces" bookmarks! We were able to secure a 5:30pm reservation on a Saturday night with outdoor seating. Friends had dined here several times so started off the night with some good recommendations! For a party of four, they recommended about 5-7 dishes to share. I have unique allergies so both the staff and kitchen were extra careful and made sure to let us know if any of the dishes we ordered had any potential cross contamination. To be safe, we didn't order one of their popular dishes (green beans) as it has cashews. We thought about having those to the side but were afraid there could be potential contamination from the pot they make it in. We ordered about 6 dishes to share and ordered a matcha tres leches to share per each couple. We probably could have ordered another main but we left with satisfied bellies. Naan & Dips - $21 Must get! Naan is super flavorful and comes with two dipping sauces. It was a good portion size to share among 4 people Roasted Carrots - $19 Couldn't get the green beans due to my cashew allergy so we opted for the next recommendation given by our waiter! The carrots were so tender and flavorful. Tomato & Stone Fruit Salad - $24 I really enjoyed this one although our friend felt like the Chicago location made this more flavorful. The creamy tofu sauce with chili oil makes a great pairing! A great refreshing way to start off the meal before all the heavy flavors from the mains! Ginger Chili Yum Salmon - $38 Salmon was extremely tender and cooked well. It comes with two pieces of salmon, so it made it easy to share between the two couples. The sauce was okay for me. Sticky Glazed Pork Shank - $48 My absolute favorite from what we ordered. Meat fell off the bone and was seasoned so well! I liked the addition of lettuce and pickled veggies. You can eat as is or make it into a lettuce wrap! Highly recommend, maybe next time I won't share this one haha Pork Belly Noodles - $36 Pork belly was tender, but I don't remember much from it...also the portion size was lacking so maybe that's also a factor. 2 Matcha Tres Leches - $17/each YES to this! This was such a divine way to end our meal. The blackberry frozen jam and matcha whip was such a treat! Loved the addition of matcha white chocolate quinoa crisps!

Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10.

    This was our first time dining in the arts district, and I picked your restaurant strictly for the…read moreambience that I saw online. Most times, a good ambience means mediocre food so I'd just hoped it was edible. Good Lord, was I wrong. Several things on your menu were the "best we've ever had" of that item, starting with the cornbread. I never order chicken when eating out because it's boring and usually dry. Your chicken was so moist - the spice level so perfect - that I had to share it with everybody at the table. Everything that arrived was met with "Oh my God. Have you tried that?" The only thing I didn't love was the parsley eastsider drink. I often have an Eastside when I am out, but perhaps the addition of parsley just made it taste like I was on a juice cleanse. Our waiter, Angel, noticed I wasn't gulping it down and asked if he could get me something else. I kept telling him it was "fine," but he did not accept "fine" as the bar of satisfaction so I asked for a margarita. He offered to add heat and I was reluctant, but said ok. Spicy margaritas often taste like a margarita with spice dumped as an afterthought. Again, you blew that theory away. I had to have everyone at the table taste the best margarita we have ever had. It tasted like the margarita had been born of a cross-pollinated agave-pepper plant. The seamless flavor was out of this world. I'm so grateful that Angel insisted I change my drink because we ordered 3 more. Angel also turned my husband onto an IPA that he loved. The unique ambience goes without saying. The designer of the space should win an award. We were fascinated by the diagonally, cut doors, wondering the story behind them. The people watching could have been our entire entertainment for the night. I've saved the best for last and that is our server, Angel. We were well taken care of from our first moment to our last.

    Manuela has been a spot on our list to check out for awhile and finally gave it a shot this weekend…read morefor my cousin's fiance's birthday brunch. First impression is that the space is stunning and so inviting. In the heart of the arts district it is located in a historic building and they leaveraged using a lot of the original infrastructure to make this spot a hidden gem amongst the other eateries in the neighborhood. The meal started off strong with attentive service and delicious starters. We got the popular cornbread, biscuits and trout dip. 5/5 for each item! Where the meal started to fall short came to our entrees. The service staff was kind but not very attentive. Tables who were sat after us were noticably getting their food faster. We waited closer to an hour for our entrees and had to send all of them back because they arrived cold. The manager became aware of the issue and they refired our entrees immediately but didn't do much else to address the significant lag in the service and cold delivery. Given it was a birthday brunch they did give us a complimentary dessert and ice cream but not much else to acknowledge the lack in service and quality especially given the value point of the meal. Overall, we had high expectations for Manuela but this particular brunch experience fell short. We aim to come back to try their dinner service in hopes for a better experience.

No electricity in the kitchen. Staff was attentive from the hosts to the server. Tuna toast was good maybe 6/10 nothing tooo special but it was good enough. Cornbread had a nice crust. I expected more from the cornbread, but if you let it sit in the honey or syrup it'll mix in and bring out more flavors 7/10. The Green stew was super good, I don't normally eat pork but it was that good. I loved the texture of chilies, it wasn't too thin and it was choppy. The stew had a little spice kick which I loved. The tortillas were so thin and soft! They were the best tortillas ever! 9/10 The rib eye had a really good crust, but it was really chewy and hard to cut. 6/10 The date pudding was good, also had a really good crust. It wasn't too sweet which I loved. 8/10 Overall, it's a good restaurant, and was super busy, and they delivered. It's a solid restaurant and I definitely recommend for others to try. Would I come again? Sure for the pork stew.

We sat at the chef's counter, which is right in front of the open-flame grill. Definitely a cool spot to sit and watch the chefs prep all the dishes, but you'll definitely feel the heat on your face. Heads up for anyone who doesn't want to be roasted during their meal. We ordered the pork chop, baby albacore, sour milk cornbread, cherokee tomato caesar, and carolina gold rice. Everything was delicious, but the tomato caesar and pork chop were easily our favorites. The tomatoes were so fresh, flavorful, and unique! The pork chop was cooked and flavored perfectly as well. The carolina gold rice is honestly up in that ranking as well. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, this was such a great dinner. Sitting at the counter and watching the open-fire cooking made the experience even better. Would definitely come back with buds next time!

    This is a long-overdue post. République has been on my must-visit list of LA dining experiences for…read morequite some time. I just never realized where it was since I don't usually make it out to Hancock Park. Then one day, while I happened to be in the area, I stumbled upon it and had one of those "Wait...this is here?!" moments. You ever have one of those places you've wanted to visit forever, only to realize it was much closer than you thought? My first visit was actually for dessert after having a less-than-memorable lunch at Mish down the street. Unfortunately, I arrived later in the day and most of the pastry case had already been wiped out, leaving only a limited selection. The staff recommended the Dulce de Leche Cremadette ($6.75), and I'm glad they did. It was perfectly flaky, buttery, and sweet, with the dulce de leche tucked inside the pastry. The caramel reminded me of the caramel coating on a caramel apple. I also picked up some brownies at the staff's recommendation, and those were fantastic -- incredibly moist, rich, and delicious. Definitely a must-get. I was a little disappointed that I missed out on the majority of the pastry selection, but I was told that the pastries are made in limited batches each day and once they sell out, that's it. So if you're coming specifically for the pastries, get here early. Earlier this summer, I made the acquaintance of an OG Yelper, Joseph A., and we've been corresponding back and forth on Yelp. I happened to know that he's a regular at République, so I asked if he'd be interested in meeting me right when they opened. I figured if anyone knew what to order, it would be him. Joseph was incredibly kind and gracious enough to treat me to breakfast. I ordered his usual breakfast recommendation: the Regular Breakfast ($24), which comes with bacon steak, fingerling potatoes, a demi baguette, French butter, jam, and an egg prepared any style. Joseph went with the soft scramble, and I followed his lead. That was definitely the move. They really know how to cook eggs here. The soft scramble was absolutely divine -- creamy, delicate, and perfectly cooked. The bacon steak was a little on the salty side, but still very good. The demi baguette was excellent, especially with the French butter and jam. Honestly, I could have eaten several pieces of that baguette with the butter and jam alone. The fingerling potatoes were nicely seasoned and quite good on their own, but a few dashes of hot sauce really took them up another notch. I'll be honest: $24 is definitely on the pricey side for what you're getting, especially when you break down the individual components. That said, when you factor in the quality of the food, the setting, and the overall experience, I can understand why people are willing to pay it. We also shared several pastries, and every single one was excellent in its own right. I'm officially hooked on the pastries here. They just don't miss. Service was pretty good during my visit. One thing worth noting is that République adds a 4% surcharge to the bill to help cover healthcare for their staff. It's certainly something to be aware of when looking at the final bill. f you're looking for a quintessential LA brunch experience to take out-of-towners to, République is a great option. Just be prepared for potentially long lines, especially on weekends. I visited on a weekday morning over the summer, so I didn't personally experience the weekend crowds. My only real wait was at the pastry counter during my first visit. I've heard you can expect people lining up before they even open at 8AM, so plan accordingly. The cult following surrounding Walter and Margarita Manzke's restaurant/café is understandable. Between the food, pastries, atmosphere, and history of the building, there's a lot to appreciate here. And speaking of history, the building itself is pretty special. The property was built in 1928 by Charlie Chaplin. It became a restaurant in 1989 when chefs Mark Peel and Nancy Silverton transformed the space to open La Brea Bakery and Campanile. After Campanile closed in 2012, the building was renovated and modified to open up the space while returning it closer to the spirit of its original construction. République opened in 2013 and has been going strong ever since. Do yourself a favor and eat at République. Come for the food and pastries, but also take some time to appreciate the ambiance and the history of this incredible LA property. And whatever you do, get here early if you want the pastries. Once they're gone, they're gone! Don't walk--run to République.

There were also lots of interesting conversations going on around me, which gave the place a fun, lively atmosphere without being distracting. Service was great. My waiter was friendly and attentive. Overall, a nice spot with a great patio and good atmosphere. I'd come back, especially to work and grab a matcha.

What we enjoyed: -Breaking Bread ($23) - cornbread, herbed focaccia, an everything bagel paired with fried chicken butter, schmaltz cream cheese, and extra virgin seasoned olive oil. It sounds like a standard dish, but it was actually fun to eat. My friend described it as "familiar but just a little fancy." -For Goodness Steak ($54) - 8 oz. NY Strip steak served with pomme purée and wilted spinach. Prepared just right, and such a quality cut of steak. I love it when the meats melt in your mouth. -Linden Burger ($34) - An elevated burger because it's topped with scallion slaw, French onions, white cheddar, and lemon garlic aioli. All of those elements really come together when you have a bite. I asked for this medium well. No meal is complete without SIDES: -The Macaroni Pie ($12) and Herbed Duck Fat Fries ($21) I tell you, that macaroni pie was indulgent (bring your lactase enzyme pills), and I swear there's a hint of sweetness. The fries were insane, six thick long sticks hand-cut, served with lemon caviar aioli. Crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside and cooked in duck fat, I presume. Such a great flavor!! I can't believe this is on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, I really expect a nice space like this with an intimate feeling and nice attentive servers to be on the west side or nestled in the hills somewhere. Everything was delicious, and I want to come back and try more dishes. I agree with my friend that there was a great feeling that the restaurant brought. I don't know if they come out and sing happy birthday on request or anything like that, but this feels like a space to take someone for a special birthday meal.

Service: very hands on, everyone kept refilling our water glasses. Really appreciate them. The dishes came in accordingly and right on time, one after another. We ordered quite many dishes and desserts. -:- All were made fresh and cooked/baked perfectly. It's really hard to cook ribs perfectly. But this place did it! A lot of people think that "fall off the bones" are the perfect way for ribs dish. But actually that is incorrect. If you're curious of how perfectly made BBQ ribs supposed to taste like, feel free to come to this place. They'll show you how it should be. -:- this place made the best with all fresh ingredients. I never liked spread before. But here, they made their tuna spread from fresh ingredients and not from canned ingredients. If you'd like to know how good a spread tuna spread tastes like, this is the place to go! And don't get me started with their bread. Talking about fresh! They make cloud bread (my opinion). Deep fried cauliflower: first, they boiled/blanched the cauliflowers perfectly, breaded and deep fried. If you'd don't like veggies, you have to come here and get this dish. The sauce, they made it from fresh lime juice! Not from any bottled ones that majority restaurants out there use for short cuts. This including their tomato salad. Will we revisit? Yes! 1000% many many many more times!
