    Very warm and intimate restaurant ambience, but the people make the difference. This was our first visit and so worth the trip, Niko and his staff are wonderful people and immediately made us feel at home. The food was outstanding and the service superb. Already planning another visit - it’s that good. John.

    Delicious “home made” food . Service is quick but not too rushed. Small restaurant but nice ambience. The only issue here is traffic and parking in Kensington. ..
