Tasty foodVegetarian & vegan choicesAtmosphereGood for families
“Every dish felt like something you’d regret not ordering. The Wellington was rich and buttery, the steak unbelievably tender and packed with flavor. I asked for medium rare, and it arrived with that perfect warm, rosy center. What made the experience even better was seeing the chef personally checking in on diners, making sure every table was enjoying the meal — a small touch that made the night feel genuinely special.”
Amazing experience. Food was very nice. The got the shawarma lamb and it was nearly falling of the bone lovely and tender. The goats cheese in the salad was great and pitta chips were a great crunch to it. But I would suggest going a bit lighter on the dressing as there was a lot of sticky balsamic glaze. The vegan orange chocolate pudding was fernominal I don’t like orange and chocolate generally but this one was amazing the pudding was soft but not dense or too heavy and was perfectly sweet and dark chocolatey. The orange pudding was my favourite thing I got definitely worth a try. The icecream wasn’t very sweet which was perfect for me as I have been on a low sugar diet for the past year. The pistachio chunks looked very fresh as-well. Perfect after a big meal.
Thank you Sarah for your 5 stars ✨ review looking forward to seeing you soon
Was in Midleton for a weekend work trip, my colleagues and I ambled in off the street on Saturday evening without a booking and the staff were very accommodating and so nice.
The atmosphere was really chill and we commented on the play area for kids was a great touch.
The food was out of this world, definitely the best shawarma I've ever had. This place is the real deal!
Came back the following day to stock up on Palestine sodas.
I will be back and can't wait to see you all again.
