Went there for brunch/breakfast. Maybe brunch and breakfast isnt their forte. Our order had the halumi cheese, sujuk omlette and potato omlettes, beef shakshuka. They were ok. Other menu items looked good. Service was good.

This Middle Eastern restaurant has a warm, homey vibe that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. The food is fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care — every dish tastes authentic and satisfying.

The service is truly exceptional: the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcomed.

A perfect place for great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and amazing hospitality. Highly recommended!
