Google lists: dine-in · delivery · takeaway · lunch · dinner. > Ordered a chicken souvlaki and went all in three sauces, living dangerously. Bold of me to assume I’d actually taste… any of them. Honestly starting to think they just waved the sauce bottles near it for moral support. Ordered a regular size too, which apparently means small now ? Only thing that was generous was the tinfoil. There was so much of it I ended up folding it into a little cat (See pic below). Food was eh, experience was confusing, arts and crafts portion was excellent!., Maddy, 5 months ago > AWFUL. Ordered the chicken skewers what they say on the picture is not what they deliver. On the photo they show you real chicken but instead you get weird sausages with dark green hummus. Didn't eat it, asked for a refund, they said no., Theadora Ballantyne-Way, 7 months ago > This place was lovely. Everything you eat here will taste amazing. Delicious food🌮🍟.Lovely staff and great atmosphere.
