The new restaurant, was new to me, and my family, in June 2022. The location is Hatch End. It is in the old, former Natwest bank building. 381 The Broadway, Uxbridge Road. When I pushed open the door, the manager or owner rushed forward to greet me.

I have already chosen what I would like to order. I am allergic to shellfish. So no prawns or squid for starters. My choices of starters would be Indian bread with curry, or chicken skewers with sesame seed, and if we order a second different starter the duck with Peking sauce is a favourite of my family although you can order that at other places.
For my main course, there are three chicken dishes, two dishes with lemon grass, and an extra of sweet potato fries.
