Fantastic, unique experience.
Spur of the moment drop in to this restaurant which a friend had recommended some time ago. Really delicious dishes and lovely small plates for us 2 vegetarians to share. Wish it had been busier both for the atmosphere and for the lovely people working there.
Went there as a walk-in on Friday, and was highly impressed. I enjoyed every single thing I ordered. My only compliant is I wasn't able to order what I wanted, which was the Berebere Chicken, but the kabobs were phenomenal just the same. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!👍
Oh, and the chef sent out a complimentary appetizer.
