Absolutely lovely experience. Very good food and friendly servers. The silk route feast is very worth it, being able to try so many things! Definitely exceeded my expectations :) We were sat at a lower bench table which may be a bit difficult for people with limited mobility. I would recommend calling ahead and requesting a normal height table if this would be an issue for your group.

Elegant but casual, Selene impressed and delighted. Amazing service and food, and the most elevated Greek salad I’ve ever had. I would also drink the mussel broth on its own, it’s that good. Selene deserves all the success, thank you for a lovely evening!
