    Got the appearance of a bit of a canteen, with formica mix and match tables and chairs, and all a bit basic, and laminated menu.....but don't let that put you off cos the food is great - yemisir wot and shiro, served with white rice and injera - it was all eaten very quickly. Only disappointment - no tef injera available (it's on the menu ☹️ - additional+ points - it sells Sheba beer and the price offers great value!

    Food was really tasty but the people in there were having some crazy row about plastering with the local smack head. It was also really smokey. Made us want to leave before dinner arrived. Never eaten and left so fast in my life. Will order delivery next time.

    Every time i come here I am greeted and served with the friendliest attitudes. The food is fast, hot and delicious and i’m not even vegan whatsoever, I enjoy having plant based meals every so often to try new things, and do something better for the environment. If you’re skeptical about plant based meat/burgers/food in general, give this place a shot. You won’t be disappointed!

    (Translated by Google) I happened upon this place by chance with some friends and I was immediately attracted by the simplicity and "homemade" atmosphere. Good choice of traditional Greek dishes such as Moussaka, Souvlaki, Hummous, salads with feta and various Mese, very Mediterranean, absolutely affordable prices, very good, I will be back! (Original) Sono capitato in questo posto per caso con degli amici e ne sono stato attratto subito dalla semplicità e dal clima "casalingo". Buona scelta di piatti della tradizione greca come Moussaka, Souvlaki, Hummous, insalate con feta e Mese varie, molto Mediterraneo, prezzi assolutamente accessibili, buonissimo, ci ritornerò!
