We’re all about vibrant flavours, locally-sourced ingredients and homemade marinades and sauces. Watch our team of creative chefs make fresh flatbreads, from scratch, in our open theatre-style kitchen. We cook all of our breads on a robata grill, giving each kebab that lovely charcoal flavour.

We also offer a selection of tasty non-babs, meze dishes and desserts. Our drinks list includes freshly made iced teas and a variety of beers, wines and soft drinks. We have recently expanded and now offer an amazing choice of cocktails, from savoury to sweet and everything in between.

So, come hungry, pull up a chair and enjoy a kebab worth sitting down for.

At peak times tables will have a maximum sitting time for 1hr 30mins from the start of the booking time. The host inform you on arrival.

Unfortunately, we are unable to serve Coeliacs due to the risk of cross contamination.

The overall atmosphere was really good, we can before rush hour so we’re sat very quickly. Within 30 minutes it started filling up. The lamb was tender and flavoursome. Greek chips were insane. Only issue is that the wrap/pitta was slightly on the stale side. However for 50% off there was nothing to complain about.

Food was ok, Everything served pretty cold so very obviously not fresh. Waitresses were unhelpful, we didn’t receive any of the sides we ordered as she was clearly not paying attention to us when we ordered. Would not return or recommend

Had a table for 7 pre-booked. Staff were patient and attentive. Food was excellent. The Greek Style chips were delicious as was my main of Calamari and Prawans. Everybody in the group enjoyed the meal, so well worth a visit.
