  • "Very very generous portions considering we are in London."
  • "The portions are very large, and hence a very good value per price ratio."

Cons:

  • "Have a high price for the service and food, is like an expensive kebab (price around 10-12£ per dish)."
  • "That large wrap is £9.50 directly from the restaurant or £13 on Deliveroo!"
  • "The large souvlaki wrap was easily enough for 2 meals and I am someone who eats a lot."
  • "The smoothies are frozen packets that cost a pound and when blended, rise to 5gbp. Overrated and not worth repeating, nor really trying once."
  • "The fries were frozen, I wouldn’t mind but every dish was between £17-£25 and extremely salty."
  • "Surprised to only get an overpriced Easter menu!!"
  • "Price: relatively cheap - I Paid for one yeeros around 7.5. a big one would have cost me 8.5."
