“ The lamb shawerma was unbelievable. It's a must try with that hot sauce. Falafel was nice and crispy. ”
“ One of my favourite places to pay a visit to if I'm looking for a comfortable place to sit and eat some delicious food. They serve a decent menu along with a variety of middle Eastern sweets, cookies and desserts. The Moroccan mint tea goes very well with the sweets. The seating is comfortable and spaced out and the atmosphere gives off Lebanese/ middle Eastern vibes. They also have w/c and prayer facilities on the upper floor. Service has always been good and staff are great. ”
“ After lunch at another restaurant the name caught our eye as we were walking off our food. My partner and I are a bit konafa / kunefe obsessed so I took a look inside to see what was on offer. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so after walking off a fee more calories we returned for chai lattes and desserts! We were not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the service was good and the food was excellent. The konafa may actually be the best we've tried yet and that includes several sampled in and around the Middle East! We also tried the pastries, which were a delight and have agreed that we will return at some point for a full lunch as the food being served to other tables looked really good ”
