Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The smell, texture and taste of the food is spot on and takes me back to being home."

  • "It is good taste if it were for a third or half the price."
  • "The food is great, but the atmosphere isn't quite there."
  • "The portions were also very overpriced."
  • "Very average food with ridiculous prices."
