• "The shared starters platter was just perfect, the mussaka was with bechemel sauce which was a bit heavy and left a little bit heart burn."

Service

• "I went for food here on a Saturday night, it was very busy but the service was still exceptional."
• "Visited Sunday. Service was amazing, restaurant was busy but they did accommodate a walk in."
• "Amazing food, beautiful restaurant, lovely staff."
• "Had a family dinner here in a later Sunday evening. Was not crowded and it was easy to get placed without any booking."

Cons:

• "As we left, all the tables that were occupied had quite a few small pots on their tables. I don't know if they forgot ours or couldn't be bothered."
• "The main negative, was that they WOULD NOT LET US LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING THE SERVICE CHARGE IN FULL."
• "Having got to the end of the meal I probably would’ve gone back there again, however when we asked for the bill we were told at that point that it’s cash only!!"
• "First and last trip here for us sadly. Read great reviews but the service was just a let down."
• "In some restaurants, the location may not be significant because people are solely focused on the taste. However, this place was also selected with the purpose of emphasizing flavour, but we didn't prefer the tightly packed tables and the excessively noisy ambiance."
• "We wanted something small to eat as we were a little hungry but already had dinner plans later, we chose this place because it was easy and central and quiet upon arrival, we picked three starters from the menu and two cocktails, it wasn't a lot of food and we were left feeling hungry still."
• "Food is good, overpriced for what you get. One skewer of chicken Shish and a very small portion of rice can’t be £18!"
• "We were very badly received and left immediately without eating. The staff was very rude."
