Great place to eat and able to have a conversation. Music brought me back to the 80s and 90s. We ordered the Balkan skara for 4. Food was fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. Ambience was relaxing. Great place to celebrate a special occasion or just have a quiet dinner with friends.

The food was absolutely delicious. We had a mix of favourites and every dish was wonderful. We had the regular fried rice and I think we ate every single grain. Highly recommend the food. The staff were lovely and attentive and food served relatively quickly and piping hot. Definitely going back, it’s a new favourite!!
