Exotic meat restaurant in Firzrovia

bob and several co-workers visited on a monday night in late May. We had a booking for 19:00 and the restaurant was already quite busy and more people were coming in. It was a warm enough dat that they were makign use of their small terrace out front and had the windows wide open.

We started with some canapes(£2.50 per person) while we were deciding on what to have. They were fine although not obviously a chargeable item when they were offered to us.

bob had the Sarawaki Seafood(£9.50)photo to start. This was a fine seafood curry. Others had the crocodile in vine leaves(£10.50)photo, Ostrich(£10)photo and finally the caramelised duck(£10.50)photo

For his main bob had the wok seared frog's legs(£17)[ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjw1/4671429702/in/set-72157624207364424/ photo]. This was very tasty. Others had the Zebra(£19.50)photo, the Gnu(£19.50)photo and the Kangaroo(£19.00)photo. We also had a selection of sides. Potatoes(£3.50), Coconut Rice(£3.50) and the Love Bug Salad(£7.50)photo. All of these were fine.

bob'v verdict: Worth a visit once in your life for the love bug salad since insects are about the only thing you probably cant find elsewhere in London. Its also an expereince.

Accesability info: Toliets are down a narrowish spiral staircase.
