Honestly amazing food! We ordered the lunch 2 course deal of falafel and lamb moussaka, ezme, Olive Tree Special, Trilice and a cappuccino. I cannot fault any of the food at all as everything is freshly made and very flavourful. The service is great and the staff are incredibly attentive. I would definitely be visiting again soon!
