Excellent dining experience. The staff were prompt and friendly, professional and smiley and didnt keep coming over all the time. You could tell the chef took pride in the food as everything felt like it was cooked from good quality ingredients. The tomato aubergine to start came with loads of flatbread (perfectly cooked), lamb stew with okra was different with tender lamb and saffron rice that was cooked perfectly. The other had chicken and lamb kebab and it was one of the best chicken I've tasted cooked this way. Lamb was tender and both had subtle flavours dded to the meat that only excellent

Food was excellent. The houmous was excellent and the platter was brilliant. The staff were very friendly and didn't think the prices were too bad either.

We visited this restaurant tonight following a previous visit. Was disappointed it wasnt as good as the first time. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and pleasant. The service tonight was slow and the lamb fillet lacked seasoning, when we finished our food our plates were removed and no one returned to ask if we would like anything else. The bar area is particularly noisy which is unnecessary bottles been thrown into bin in a loud manner. Sadly for these reasons we probably wont visit again.

The chef prepared us a delicious takeaway. Moist lamb chops and chicken, cooked over charcoal. The grill is situated in the restaurant itself, so you can watch the cooking. I think this is a nice touch. It feels like you're part of the cooking experience which adds to the enjoyment of it all. I definitely recommend this place. The staff were very nice and friendly too. Definitely gets 5-stars.
