“SENSATIONAL food! Lovely service. Was lucky to be there on a hot day so sat outside. Perfect, creamy hummus, crispy falafel, and probably the best tabbuleh I've ever had.”
- Emily Cousins
“Thanks for a great meal! The shwarma chicken hummus was really good but would recommend sharing as mezze as was quite rich to eat by yourself.”

Customer Review Summary
Chicken shawarma is the dish reviewers raise most, described as tasty, full of flavour and, for one lunch diner, the best chicken shawarma they had eaten sitting in. One reviewer found the shawarma chicken hummus rich enough that sharing as mezze would suit. Close behind is the mixed grill, with generous portions of well seasoned, tender meats alongside rice and salad. Others single out creamy hummus, crispy falafel, tabbouleh, garlic mayo and the hot mezze, which a vegan couple worked through in full. Staff are repeatedly called welcoming, kind and quick, and one party ate on the terrace on a freezing night with patio heaters and blankets. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the flatbread a bit flat and the okra overcooked, called the room too loud, and thought staff seemed overwhelmed in a small, packed space. Another felt service lacked extra attentiveness, and one diner's friend did not like his chicken. One reviewer notes that dessert and tea arrive complimentary at each table.
