    Gone five times now and it's always brilliant. The staff are efficient and attentive. The food is 11/10. We ordered a wide range from vegetarian through to the mixed grill. Get the warm dolmas. Great experience. You won't walk away hungry.

    A lovely host. Beautiful cuisine. Nothing was too much trouble. We very much enjoyed our beautiful early Christmas lunch celebrating with family. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks so much. Devine.

    Food and service was excellent, as always. Some very very loud tables which made it a bit too noisy for our liking.
