    Very enjoyable experience. Main courses are generous portions so don't go mad ordering. The pizzas are very good as are the mear dishes. The hummus and other sides are very good. House wine is quite good and well priced.

    I had a gorgeous lunch here with 2 friends. We shared the vegan mezze, veg tagine, falafel and a maneesh. All were fab and big portions. Great value. Love this place.
