Nice place, very small and quite a limited menu, but food well cooked and tasty. We were limited for time because they were busy but the service was quite slow and we were a little rushed at the end. We were also surprised to find that they only do one type of desert a night and there was only 1 serving left! A delicious basque cheesecake that we had to share. Bear in mind we were eating early and our table had to be vacated by 7.30pm. Which means that no one after us had any desserts. Either bad planning or they're just not bothered. It is a shame as we'll probably think twice before returning again.

All food tastes amazing coming out of that kitchen but a surprising game changer on the menu was probably the best green beans I've ever had 10/10 just for them

Some of the best food I have eaten in a long time. Really interesting flavour combinations. I like the small plate concept as it meant we could try lots of different things. The staff were really friendly and we're happy for our two year old to bring her own food. They have a nice range of beers from two by two, albeit in cans only. The only downside was the stairs which were a challenge to lug our buggy up.

Fabulous food and a lovely chilled atmosphere. A nice choice of meze/tapas with meat and veg options. This restaurant is on the first floor and the stairs are steep. The toilets are on the next floor again!

Tasty Middle Eastern food, with fresh and varied menu. We tasted pitta, shawarma spiced chicken, grilled cabbage and lamb. It was delicious and the ambiance was enjoyable for a night out. Follow the goats recommendations! We under ordered, and could have had one or two more plates. 3 plates per person is a good amount.

Had such a lovely meal tonight. The food was beautiful. The plates are quite big, we ordered far too much food for two people, but it was easy to do as there were so m a ny things we wanted to try. Started with the tzatziki and hummus with green harrisa. Both were great, the hummus was so light. The pitta we got to accompany them was soft and pillowy. For mains, the chicken shawarma was so good, amazing spicing. The pork souvlaki was tender and melting, though not quite up to the flavour standard set by the chicken. Spring green curry was great. Powerful flavours, the veg was light and had a bit of a bite to it still, as it should be. The goan seabass fry was amazing. My friend really isn't in to fish, but even she enjoyed it. Such an excellent crust, no soggyness and the sauce accompanying was excellent. We were given the aubergine with falafel by accident, instead of the aubergine and lamb we had ordered. We hadn't noticed, one of the staff had seen and came over to apologise and offer to swap. We declined and I'm glad, the falafel was excellent. My only slight complaint (and I use that word very lightly) was that the halloumi we ordered was supposed to come with baba ganoush, a salad and tomato harrisa. What we got was halloumi, red pepper sauce ad mushrooms. I hate mushrooms so much! Also love baba ganoush and was a bit sad not to have any. Having said that, the sauce and cheese were excellent and my friend LOVES mushrooms. She also said they were some of the best mushrooms she's ever had. So, we didn't say anything The staff were great, friendy and very attentive. We had a great night and will definitely be back
