A group of about 11 of us came here the day after Boxing Day and the entire place felt like a private dining room for us. With all the positive reviews on here, there weren't more customers coming in even around 9pm, except for a small group of people who sat at the bar.
Ok, I think this had its good side in a way because we definitely were tended to by the one staff who acted as both server and bartender. And the entire two and a half hours that we were there sailed through in a pleasant and cherry vibe.
Before ordering anything I was keen on trying the Pomegranate Spritz and the taste of the vodka definitely hit my tongue but was also countered by the sweetness of the Cointreau.
I had already decided before going to Hungry Amoo that the stand out dishes I'd like were the Scotch Egg and the Cheesburger. I was not mistaken, because a few of my dining companions also picked the Scotch Egg to start off with. The sausage enrobed quail egg was crunchy with a good taste of the sausage and each person who ate it had nothing bad to comment. Other appetizers that were also picked were the Chips and Dips, Pistachio Soup, Amoo's Salad, Falafel which also another highlight of the restaurant and the Mini Octopus.
For my main, I had my sights set on the Cheeseburger which again amazed most of the diners as it all made a fuss about the way it was stacked and how I was going to try taking the first bite out of it :-) The Cheeseburger also hit the spot and the fries was were just how I like them.
Most of the table decided to get the Dirty Chicken with Basamati Rice plate and that choice was enjoy by those who ate their orders.
And to end the enjoyable dining experience, a couple of people decided to get the donuts which came on a generous bed of hazelnut spread with a few pipings of cream. I tried a bite of it and the cake texture paired of with the hazelnut spread definite got my up vote on it.
I hope Hungry Amoo gets more customers on a normal day. I was definitely happy with the laid-back and enjoy dining experience that our group had on that evening.
