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.

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.

I just really love Muna's - the food, the place, Muna herself. It's usually absolutely hoaching in the evenings, but we were there today at 2pm on a Saturday and we were the only people there.
