“ Celebrated a major birthday last night at this excellent place. The food came swiftly and was very good indeed. The portions were very generous too, and I struggled to finish. The atmosphere and staff was friendly and welcoming, and the team were very obliging in accommodating our specific requests (such as having a mixture of hot and cold mezzes, which are superb!). ”
“ Visited in January and it was a nice welcome to feel the place was warm and welcoming. The staff are nice and eager to please. Food is very tasty. There's no starters or appetisers so we ordered a small mezze to share with bread. Our mains were all really nice. Our total bill with drinks was 70 which we thought was very reasonable. We have already recommended this place to our daughter (we will await our commission for the recommendation ) ”
