Great place for a fine dining date. They offer vegan and vegetarian options. The waiter was very friendly and provided a great service.
You can order Italian or Moroccan food. We ate Moroccan and it was so delicious.
The vegetarian platter is so taste and pretty big. I definitely recommend it.
I order as a main the vegan vegetables Moroccan stew. It was soooo tasty.
Great place for a date night, to go out with friends, and family dining.
We'll be coming back!

Just a few steps and easily visible from the main walk, the food is amazing and the waitstaff was wonderful. Our waitress was new and just graduated from Uni & she was absolutely charming. We had a light lunch and wine, tucked into a table outside. Great atmosphere, a perfect stop after walking and shopping. Glad to have a nice moment to rest and recharge. Highly recommend.

this is the worst pasta i’ve ever tasted in my life. first off, it was tasteless — i almost emptied the salt and pepper shaker on my plate (and this was with me telling them i’d like the meal spicy, so i can only imagine if it was made the regular way). secondly, the “creamy sauce” was separated from
the pasta and was extremely watery. in addition, the spinach was just clumped at one side of the plate, and even salmon that is almost impossible to mess up didn’t taste good.
if you’re looking for good pasta, please for the love of anything you hold dear, avoid this restaurant 🥲

One of the best burgers and sheek kebab i have had in a while, however, we were sat deep inside the restaurant, quite hot on summer days. Well decorated inside as well.

Reviews looked great but unfortunately it wasn't what we expected. The waiter was lovely can't fault him. But the food was overly bland and oily and that's all we could taste. I had the fungi risotto which sounded delicious on the menu but was so so bland it was so disappointing. Many of the mushrooms had a corky texture and tasted like them too, while others just too oily to taste anything, had loads of rosemary, all the stems where left in for me to have to navigate around but also had no taste, couldn't taste the garlic or anything just tasted like a bowl of mushy oily rice. My sister had the safron tagliatelle, the sauce was very thin and oily and aslo had barley any safron in , which she couldn't taste either. Such a shame. The starter of pizza bread was delicious although a bit small and simple for the price. Biggest complaint is the two different types of music playing in opposite rooms. Not only did the music not match the atmosphere of the beautiful decor it was also hard to concentrate and hold a conversation with the busy noise of two different songs playing at the same time.

Lovely place we sat inside downstairs the decoration was very Moroccan and colourful.
The food was amazing there were 4 of us so we ordered two of the platters to share as a starter which were cooked to perfection.
All the mains were excellent we had steaks, lamb kofta and chicken kebabs all served with rice & chips. My only criticism would be that the service was a little on the slow side, having said that it would not stop me going there again.
If you are in the area I would recommend this place.

Went for Mediterranean Mezze platter and wasn’t disappointed. Attentive, friendly service. (Would like to give the place a good spring cleaning though) Would definitely return.
So nice had to do it twice! Went back for the same Mezze Platter and found it reliably consistent.

Great atmosphere and delicious food with friendly (if a little slow!) service. We went at 5pm when it was quiet and although we were in no rush the gaps between service were noticeable. Having said that, the food was absolutely top notch - cooked to perfection with beautiful presentation. We chose the Lebanese menu and I would definitely go back again.
