As the year comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the small moments that shape who we are — the flavours, the people, and the memories that stay with us long after they’ve passed.
For me, that feeling always goes back to those childhood summers in the 80’s, all crammed in the back of the old Falcon with my cousins, chasing the tangy scent of green mangoes. We’d pull up under a tree heavy with fruit, still firm and bright, and scramble up the branches to pick the best ones. Although I wasn’t quite the climber, I would be directing on the ground. Our hands would be sticky with sap, our pockets full, and we’d sit on the boot with chilli and salt in one hand and mango slices in the other, laughing at nothing and everything. Those days taught me that flavours are intertwined by our environment, having a calm nervous system and being present — they are shared, simple and slow.
That’s the feeling we’ve tried to bring into the restaurant for the last 13 years.
A place where people gather, where old friends bump into each other, where stories are swapped, where flavours spark memories, and where community actually feels real and like home to so many of you.
This year brought its own challenges and its own joys, and through it all, your support kept our doors open.
As we step into our 14th year, we’re excited for what’s ahead — more yummy food , new faces, and the same commitment to warmth, generosity, and good food shared with amazing people.
See you when we get back on the 23rd Jan.
X Maggie, and Kim and our awesome team
