About

This old favorite is still packing in expatriate punters with its casual British-pub style and a menu featuring plenty of international staples such as pasta, goulash, or "Guinness pie." It's hardly chic, but at the heart of the somewhat sleazy Thaniya Plaza, its casual atmosphere attracts foreign office workers and travelers hankering for some home cooking. It's most popular when the offices close and the happy hour starts, when it can be standing room only. Fight your way in -- it's worth it.
