Food was solid. We split the kebab plate for 2 which was more than enough food. The mushroom and steak kebabs were okay but the chicken and kefta were outstanding. The only downsides are we saw our server only 3 times, order, check in and bill and the seats in the front of the restaurant you’re sitting right next to another group of 2 or 4.

Went for bottomless brunch and was pleasantly surprised. The DJ was in the front and they had two food stations. The portions were great and everything was pretty tasty.
