Love this cafe…Staff were very helpful when we had a bit of table incident ..food was superb as expected of Syrian menu… We had mixed shawarma, flat bread pizza, appetizer, chicken and salads.. wonderful food and ambience..! Love it ..and will come back in the future ..!

Beautifully designed kind of restaurant/ coffee/ tea shop. You can walk from the city centre, very close to the bus stations or park with a bit of luck right in front of the restaurant. Good food, lots of options, meat eaters or vegetarians, I am sure that you will find a delicious dish here. The fresh mint tea it is fantastic, I always order two of them. The staff is super friendly and helpful regarding intolerances and dietary restrictions. Cuddos to the team! The seats are a bit uncomfortable for me, but not terrible. I recommend them!

First time here and loved everything about it. A delicious mixed meze accompanied by samovar tea was perfect for two people, but the menu is extensive and caters to all appetites and food preferences/intolerances. The service we received was faultless, lovely decor and a general sense of wanting to give customers a great experience. Highly recommended.

Food was delightful and loved the new menu it definitely makes the whole dining experience even better as everything becomes even more accessible. The only thing I’d say is personally, I couldn’t tell the difference between the lamb schwarma and the lamb flatbread. They both tasted exactly the same to me, but not complaining as they were delish. Service was impeccable as always. Whilst we resisted the temptation to get a couple of baklavas to go this time, we do highly rate them.

This has been a favourite of mine for awhile, for eating in and takeaway coffee, and I've been looking forward to it reopening. I brought family recently and they fell in love with it too! The food was delicious as always (sharing platters were a big win! There was something for everyone), being very busy there were a few hiccups with service but the waitresses were so lovely and went the extra mile that they more than made up for it. Definitely coming back and bringing more people here
