“Raheela and her colleagues gave us a warm & friendly welcome, served us exquisite seafood, reinforcing and even surpassing the iconic “Gamba experience” decades in the making!

It’s under new management and is all the better for it!

The service was friendly, attentive but discrete. The experience, ambience and quality of food was their only focus! I can’t recommend it more highly!”
