TheForkUserGreat menu that delivers quality too. Chicken wings were exceptional. We arrived at 730 on a busy night (concert). We had a booking and staff were prompt and polite at seating us. The food arrived quickly and getting drinks from the bar was quick and easy too. Had tennis playing in background that was a bonus!

Atta Restaurant

TheForkUserWe went to Atta for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We'd heard good things before going but we were pleasantly surprised. Food was amazing, pace of meal was just right for us. Wait staff checked that we were ready for main course to come once we'd finished our entree. Only minor issue was that after taking our initial drinks order no-one came back to take further orders or check whether we needed water - a minor grumble. Over all we were very satisfied and left very full. Will happily return.

TheForkUserThe food was amazing, loved the squid ink pasta. We were so full that we couldn’t fit in the dessert but the lovely young waitress suggested that we can always do a takeaway, as I wanted so much to try their Tiramisu. So we did! One of the best Tiramisu we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to return.
