    Food was absolutely amazing and the lamb chop is just the best! Surprised by the cafe style feeling for a restaurant on King St and the one thing that drags the score down is the toilet. For some it could have been a dealbreaker to walk out. There was only one toilet. The door didn’t shut properly and the floor was a mess. Not good. It’s easy to sort out and would have got this restaurant a much higher score in the ambience section.

    Open table and google maps directs you to the incorrect location. A quick phone call to the restaurant and five minutes later we were greeted to a very friendly and warm welcome. An early doors booking so the venue was empty for most of our visit. Unfortunately a walk in (husband and wife, well heeled nicely dressed) entered towards the end of our meal. The lady concerned thought it acceptable to hold a full on video call with her son, rude (husband carried on shovelling his food in). That aside: Food fantastic with the Sheesh kebabs being the best we’d ever had. All the mains again hit the target. The guys are attentive and friendly. A quick thanks to the fellas in the kitchen and we were on our way. Bill wise it was a little on the high side. We will definitely be back again.

    The food was good if not spectacular but the service was very poor. We waited 20 minutes before anyone even came and asked us if we wanted a drink and then a further 15 minutes before anyone came to take our food orders and this was only a after one of our party had gone and found the waitress. My 4th visit to this restaurant and by far the most disappointing
