The atmosphere was hip and cool and great dishes like Stamp and Go! for an appetizer and the foil wrapped fish! Great food portions for the money!

This place could almost convert me to a vegetarian. Had the Lentil shepard's pie and it was soo good. The atmosphere is great and the music makes for a great mood.

The bill comes at the end and there is a 17.5% tax added. An extra $10?? You won't find this is other places that offer way more at a reasonable cost. Lackluster staff and food was not great. Sad to see this place go downhill.

There was nothing bad about it though. Service was almost too slow and the food compared to everything we had, average. We went there on Rockhouses guide of favorite places to eat - this being their top choice. Good Pineapple Ginger drink.

LOVE, :LOVE, LOVE the ambiance of Hungry Lion! The cocunut snapper and shrimp is the best thing on the menu. Don't wast your time with the lemongrass snapper - it's not made how you think. Just a fried fillet with lemongrass dressing on the side. I gotta say though, I strongly disliked the staff. The bartender was the only nice... More

We had heard a lot about Hungry Lion, and were surprised to find a somewhat Westernised place on the side of a club/lounge. Nevertheless the food was very tasty, if not a little pricey, and the dinig room was pleasant and buzzing. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend.

The outdoor seating has the best ventilation but its a bit dark. The food was ok - it tasted fine but the portions were not proportional to the price...more rice and less of the curry/vegetables. The side of green beans were totally undercooked and their dessert (it was cake) was super dry. When the waitress asked us how it was... More

Higher-end mostly vegetarian restaurant. Cool decor, low lighting, mellow ambiance, nice service. Not strictly carribean - has a bit of an international influence. "California food" is best comparison I can think of.

We were slightly worried when we were the only people in the restaurant at first, but were pleasantly surprised with a delicious vegetarian meal. The drinks were great too. This restaurant is across the road from the water, we sat out on the roof patio which was nice, but could get noisy if a lot of traffic is going by.... More

Food and drinks were great. This was probably the most expensive restaurant we ate at so if you're looking to save money, skip this place but it was not unreasonable and we left satisfied. Staff was great. Nice atmosphere
