    Best meal out I’ve had in a very long time. Food was delicious and perfect. Service was attentive but not in your face. Overall just perfect. Shame I don’t live in London or would definitely become a regular place to visit but will definitely be back when next in London.

    I like everything: the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the delicious food. I like that the menu is small, but there is food for every taste. I highly recommend the mushroom risotto and fondue for dessert - it has become my and my customers' favorite.

    We didn’t know what to expect given it was lunch on Christmas Day. The restaurant was one of the few that was open and we had in our reservation. Was a three course menu I thought each of us could choose an appetizer entrée and dessert, but all of the appetizers were available for the entire table. What a treat. Their falafel was the best I’ve ever had. So full of flavor. I had the lamb shank that was literally falling off the bone. I had a bite of the steak and chicken and they did not disappoint. I would recommend this restaurant not only for the food with the service. They were very attentive and accommodating.
