Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Diners rave about the lamb souvlaki, which is masterfully cooked, tender, and infused with Mediterranean spices that sing in harmony. The mixed grill plate garners significant attention, providing a rich assortment of grilled meats at an appealing price of just £12.40 on Thursdays. The restaurant’s live music adds an enjoyable ambiance on certain evenings, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Many patrons appreciate the attention to detail from the staff, creating a service experience defined by friendliness and attentiveness, further elevating the meal. Those visiting for lunch often cite the inclusion of healthy options, making it a favoured location for both casual and health-conscious diners alike.

Most Disliked

A common point of contention is the absence of cocktails on the menu, specifically during special events or outings, leaving some diners desiring a more complete beverage selection. The variability in service during busy times can occasionally impact the dining experience, with some guests noticing a dip in attentiveness.

While the restaurant offers an impressive range of options, a few diners have expressed their wish for an even broader selection of desserts, as they found the current offerings limited. As the restaurant finds a balance between great quality and expanding its menu, these small improvements could fulfill growing cravings.

What a friendly, accommodating, lovely restaurant. I had for years seen this restaurant and wondered what it was like. They blew all my expectations, now serving a wider selection of European dishes, but still have Bulgarian food and spirits. The staff were great, the waiter, the chef in his openly visible kitchen, to even impeccable toilets.This places humble prices, but excellent 👌 quality food. Will be taking more of my friends to this hidden gem.

Really delicious food, cooked perfectly. Lovely decor and lots of menu options. No cocktails, sadly but we will definitely go back again and again. Half price steaks on a Tuesday and the mixed grill is only £12.40 on a Thursday!

Popped in for lunch on the spur of the moment and thank goodness we did. We were greeted warmly and given the menu and chose, I had lamb souvlaki which was absolutely delicious, the chunks weren't massive like in other restaurants which I don’t like, they were cooked to perfection with strong Mediterranean flavours, my wife had a salad that had avocado and Halloumi with a trio of dips to go with again the flavours were perfect, the atmosphere was great and we will definitely be going again as it’s local for us. Thanks for a wonderful lunch
