This is on Av. Peru, which is the (a?) Palestinian sector of Santiago.  When
we went on Friday night the central reservation was covered in candles
mourning the current deaths in Gaza.

Anyway, the food is Thai / fusion / eclectic (there was less Thai on the
menu than we expected).  Paulina had a seafood risotto and I had what I think
is a Moroccan dish (lamb stew on couscous).

The place itself was not as fancy as the photos on the website (I had changed
into a shirt to go, which was a waste).  But the prices were fairly high and
it was busy, even early, with a young clientelle.  Maybe they were attracted
to the diversity or exclusivity (there's no sign - you need to know the
address of the large house and ring the bell at the gate to enter).

The food was average.  My lamb could have been better selected (less chewy
bits) and cooked longer.  The couscous tasted like it was made with water (not
stock).  The risotto was very heavy.

The service was poor.  We were over-charged (I realised after paying,
questioned, and got a refund).  Total was 30.000 for the above, a coke and a
beer, with tip (included in the bill).

Not recommended.
