Food was lovely, however within about 30 seconds from ordering a man who I assume was owner/manager proceeded to βball outβ the young girl that was working there, apparently about a mistake sheβd made with an order. I heard her apologise many times and offer to pay for her mistake (which we all make) but he just kept going on and on, despite me turning round a few times and made eye contact to show I was hearing it all! It made for a very uncomfortable start to our experience. I checked on the young girl who was upset but whilst we were there, him not the other owner/manager came back out or I would have happily given this feedback to them directly. Totally unprofessional, totally over the top for a mistake that she seemed to have sorted and was apologetic about. Didnβt fill me with any confidence about his ability to run the place and it left a very awkward atmosphere. Shane because the food was nice but wouldnβt want to go back and risk it again!

Had the hot mezze platter and a chicken gyros. The food was fresh and really tasty, generous portions and good value for money. Will definitely be back.

The food was good, but the seating area is quite small. We went on a weekend, and it was a bit noisy β I think it wouldβve been better if we had gone on a weekday. The smoothies were really nice too.

We went here recently and got the chicken gyros and the tres leches cake and both of them were so delicious- definitely coming back again. The place is nice and cosy and the service is really nice and the variety of Greek food is amazing. 100% recommend

I had a lamb souvlaki on plate.I struggled to eat a few pieces. The lamb was very tough, chewy and dry. I'm not usually a picky eater but this put the lid on me. Poor service too.

Had wrap with chips. Pitta bread was a bit tough for my liking and the falefal was bland/dry. Chips were great. May return again.

A wonderful find. Great Greek food, typical menu of wraps, soyvlaki and burgers. Everything was made fresh and the service was fantastic. They were disabled friendly and took great care of my dog. This is a great place for a quick bite or catch up with friends. Maggie was our server and was absolutely amazing. We will definitely come back.

Fantastic quality ingredients and yummy food! No frills kinda place with a decent number of options on the menu (including vegetarian), fast service, simple dining. The only slightly off putting thing about the place was the couple of TV screens with constant government/NHS covid propaganda on loop!! No idea what that was all about, but I've not ate out for some time so could be a new thing for restaurants. All in all, a perfect little place to enjoy some tasty and healthy food at a reasonable price. You can't go wrong!
