    Food was good but not as good as a couple of years ago. Halloumi was only drilled on one side & the chorizo it came with not that spicy. Balkan sausage good. We got 6 dishes which was enough as portions are reasonable size. Would try it again but choose different a couple of different dishes.

    Absolutely fantastic. The service by a young man who was serving & looking after everyone was brilliant! The food was excellent but would have liked a few more ingredients with some of my tapas dishes but overall amazing. We will be back :)

    Disappointed, this use to be my fave restaurant, I moved from Harrogate 6 months ago and returned tonight to find the price had gone up and quality had gone down. Sad that nothing stays the same

    We love coming here. This occasion was to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The food was excellent, as was the service and attention to detail. There is always plenty to Choose from and each dish is superb. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back - again!
