This wonderfully flamboyant nouveau Oriental restaurant is matched by equally daring cuisine. Not the kitsch you'd expect from such a name nor the Oriental excess you'd expect from the description. From Buddhas and birdcages to origami menus and beautiful plates, the restaurant has not left an inch of its decor un-customised. And it works. This is Oriental as you've never had it before. Start with carpaccio on a bed of bamboo shoots or a light salad to accompany home-made breads and delicious dips. Try the risotto of shark or Tibetan lamb. Set lunches are £26.50 for three courses and set dinners cost just under £40 for three courses.
