    That was our 2nd visit to the restaurant and loved it even more than the first. It was also my daughter’s 16th birthday and we enjoyed the birthday song performed by the staff. Made her day special. Thanks Happy. Will see you again soon

    The entire team at Inamo – Soho was fantastic from the moment we arrived. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The service was smooth, well-paced, and thoughtful throughout. As for the food — it was absolutely delicious! Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can tell real care goes into both the preparation and the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!
