Interesting restaurant to visit in Masaki. It has 2 different areas (indoor & outdoor). The environment was good, food was nice and service was excellent. There is happy hour from 3pm to 6pm. It gets a bit noisy but is a good place to pass by and enjoy some drinks and food. The experience was great

Always a great meal at Lock and Barrel. The Cilantro and Lime Fish was bursting with fresh and light flavor, which accompanied perfectly with Daal, Masala Potatoes and Rice. You can’t go wrong with the Prawn Fajitas, sizzling hot with homemade tortillas, so yummy!
