I went here with four friends on a Saturday evening. In the past, I have been here a couple of times at lunchtime and found the service too slow for a business lunch.
However, this time, the service was good - not too quick not too slow - and very friendly. All the waiting staff are very professional and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
The food was varied and good. Everyone around the table really enjoyed their meal. There was also a short but good wine list with a heavy emphasis on good value and good quality Italian wines, a nice change from the standard five or six French wines that one tends to see in every other restaurant in Douala!
The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite lively, and all the other tables seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. In terms of value, this is probably one of the better value restaurants among the higher end of Douala's establishments.
All in all, a very good evening, good fun and good value.

After a couple of mediocre meals at our hotel we decided to try this place. An excellent choice of good quality Indian, Thai and Chinese food on a menu with picture. Attentive service and a decent price. Will come back when I am around.Thank you for the encouraging review. We are indeed comforted that you enjoyed your visit. We shall continue to try and do better to offer our guests more than they expect.

Almost never finish my food here because it is always massive but also super tasty. The tastiest starter is the cream scallops. The hosts are really friendly even when they come across you in town. The waitresses are very nice and the karaoke is very delightful. I love this place!!!

It has been two years since I was at this property last, and I was pleased to note that nothing had really changed, The restaurant is, first and foremost, spotless. The menu, I think never really changes although on certain days there are additions. The food is well presented and flavorful , the prices are entirely reasonable, and this may account why it remains so popular, especially among expats

I have eaten there twice last week
Lunch 2 persons excellent
Dinner 9 persons average at best
The best lounge for cocktails in Douala
Restaurant wonderful ambience and minimalistic
Difference between a smal group and large group noticeable
They struggled to manage a larger group
I would return with a table of maximum 4
The manager needs to be more transparent and attentive in the restaurant and not hide in the bar
So much promise but I feel a little deflated by my most recent experience

Interesting and pleasant brickwork inside, and decent relaxing music and OK by the pool outside if you don't mind street noise and insects etc. Waitresses must learn the meaning of "wait" as they seemed to be a in a hurry to get away and took a while to take our order. I think they respond more positively to locals! My barracudda took over an hour, although I am told service is usually much quicker. The food was perfect but there was so much I had to take left overs for the next day. Their fruit cocktail is really good. The pizza menu is good and there are a wide range of salads.

Nice decoration and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good quality of products. We were 5, went for a main course, 2 bottles of rosé wine and we end up paying 25000xaf each. I believe that is quite expensive regardless of the decor.

What a great find! Super cute restaurant with very attentive staff. Their Chili fries are to die for!! My colleague had an Indian main and apparently it was great. My pasta was good but I think they've got other dishes that are better. But overall definitely worth going to if you're looking for a nice place in Douala.
