• "Just way too loud and they keep the front door open to let in deliveroo drivers so it's cold with the smells and sounds from outside coming in."
• "It's not a quiet restaurant so don't expect it to be a quiet night."
• "The tables were also way too small. It was a struggle to comfortably eat at the table without feeling we were going to knock something off our table or the one next to us, with people sitting uncomfortably close to us."

• "The service needs to become better as both times we visited them the staff was very confused about what we ordered."
• "The tables were also way too small. It was a struggle to comfortably eat at the table without feeling we were going to knock something off our table or the one next to us, with people sitting uncomfortably close to us."
• "We waited outside in the drizzly rain for our table and we'd booked in advance."
• "Same your money and go to the food market, better, more vibrant food and cheaper on the wallet."
• "Room for improvement can be found, however, on the size of the starters, the size of the fries (such a religion in Greece) and the fact that there were no heaters nor blankets available."
