"Oh I love it here! I've been twice recently and will most definitely be going again soon! The food is amazing and the staff are too. Fabulous, friendly service!
I had moussaka and it was delicious and filling, it was served with rice and chips. I also had fresh pitta bread with delicious dips and Greek salad. The wine was lovely too.
The desserts looked lovely but I was too full to try one on this occasion, but my friends enjoyed theirs. Can't wait to go back! Really, really enjoyed it all."
Liz Clayton
"Staff are very friendly and food is well priced, great value for money. Each dish was packed full of flavour and I would recommend trying! First time visiting and we would definitely return due to the speedy service and overall ambience."
