Have just enjoyed a long (ish) lazy lunch at Kuzina. Warmly welcomed as we were shown to our table and given ample time to make our food/drinks choices. Excellently prepared and presented calamari with tzatziki dip, butterflied and generously sized grilled shrimp with accompanying aromatic sauce, mixed grill platter and a Greek salad. All washed down with some very nice Greek red and soft drinks. YAMAS....Greece is the word.

Had been a wee while since we ate here and it was never bad, but now feels like it's been lifted to a higher level. Everything from the ambience to the presentation, taste and quality of the food was excellent 👌 Food: Polenta to start, then Roma pizza and carbonara for mains and tiramisu to end. Drinks: Bellini and peroni Prices: slightly high for me but still better value than most and the quality is worth it. Relaxed atmosphere and music made it a perfect meal prior to our gig.

I have sat in here a few times now, as well as ordering a takeaway, and thoroughly enjoy 1926. The delicious food, laid back atmosphere, set in casual surroundings really makes this place worth a visit. Great value for money, would recommend the Natan pizzza and tiramisu. My son tried the Mctominay pizza and loved it. Friendly and attentive staff too.
