Delicious food and wonderful service. I had the vegan and loved every single item on the plate...most especially the babaganouj and the falafel. The falafel was nice and crunchy and well seasoned and the babaganouj was smoky just like it should be. My hubby had the sultan and I happily sampled off his plate too. All the meat was cooked the way he asked for it and was tender and juicy. We had to wait 15 mins for a table - because it's so busy...and rightly so because the food is fantastic and they serve ample portions. Another member of our party had the lamb shanks and was quite pleased with them. I highly recommend them. The only negative is that it's a bit tight in the restaurant and some of the tables have people walking by quite a bit. Luckily we were sat in the back booth and had no trouble with that. Another option to avoid the foot traffic is to be seated outside. Happy eating

Good is very good but the prices are very high. It's just not worth the money.
