Aiming to provide fresh and tasty Mexican food (and of course, tequila), Maya Tequila Bar & Grill has a menu mainly designed to share. It has a kitchen out the front of the restaurant, the bar at the back and plenty of tables around and in-between, allowing it to cater for functions. To try a variety of things, I ordered a Paloma, the Pollo Frito and a Pollo Mole Burrito. And yes. I did eat this all myself. The Paloma was recommended by the bartender and it was wonderfully...

B'stilla's menu is designed around sharing plates. With the two of us, we were recommended to order two small plates, a large plate and a side or salad.

Because there were still a few dishes we were wanting to try, we decided to return a week later for a birthday dinner. The chicken was, obviously very hot. It didn't have as much pepper as the dishes last week so it had a different sort of bite. Surprisingly, the beer added to the duck dish gave a lovely subtle flavour to the broth and I quite enjoyed it.

Mum and I have heard many good things about this restaurant but we haven't had the opportunity to visit it until now. As expected, the dishes were pretty spicy, but thankfully, not as oily as some Sichuan restaurant food I've had. All the dishes were great: the fish in the soup wasn't overcooked and the ham choi gave it the right amount of sourness, the eggplant was crispy (and slightly sweet) on the outside with a soft centre. The kung pao chicken and ma po tofu were also...
