The portion of moussaka was quite small for the price; it seemed more focused on presentation than flavor. It really needed more seasoning—perhaps some cheese or black pepper would have helped. My partner ordered the aubergine dish, which had a more generous portion but also lacked flavor. The fries were cut into small squares and were quite long; however, they were cooked nicely. The waitress was friendly and attentive. This review is an update from the previous one dated June 6, 2022.

I ordered the “Butternut Squash Steak” with high expectations, hoping it would be more than just a cooked piece of squash, but it turned out to be quite disappointing and bland. I originally wanted the nacho starter, but I thought it would make a good meal, so the helpful waiter suggested I order three of them. I asked if they could serve all three on the same plate to make it like a proper meal, but he said the cook wouldn’t accommodate that. We’ll definitely skip this next time.

The restaurant offers several eating options, although there are no vegan items on the menu. However, the vegetarian options are clearly marked, and there are a few vegan choices available. Among the highlights are the beautifully presented banana blossom "fish" and the triple-cooked chips served with flavorful dips. They also have homemade vegan steak and pizzas, among other offerings, although the menu is currently limited.

Eating was amazing and the cocktails were beautiful. I will definitely think new.

Beautiful bar, personal good, drink very good and two for £12 on cocktails
