Popped in early evening, to an empty restaurant all bar two people, to be asked rudely if I had booked! I should have walked away then. Waited ages for meal to arrive, the lamb I picked had a nasty metallic taste, and the rice was like poor microwave stuff. Never been to a Mediterranean restaurant where you are not given... More

Visited this restaurant 3 times now and each time the standard has been great. Excellent food and excellent staff, what more could you ask... More

I am clearly out of tune with my thoughts on the place. It seems the place is packed night after night and you have to book well in advance for a Friday or Saturday night. Yes the food is cooked on a grill almost in front of you. Yes the salads are fresh. I figure everything is fresh as they... More

Popped in for dinner at 7.30pm on a Monday night. Instant food erection when walking past the open grill etc. Everything was faultless including the service. The lamb chops were the best lamb chops I have ever eaten.....and I love lamb chops! My brother lives up the road.... Definitely returning without a shadow of a doubt when next staying in... More

This restaurant is just a plain meat grill with no talent for seasoning or cooking. Also the totally male staff love to tell women what they should and shouldn't do.
