"A fantastic hidden gem, when we entered the venue, we instantly felt the authenticity of the restaurant and the menu it has to offer. The food was delicious and unique, coffee was lovely and not too strong, vegetarian friendly, well priced, we will definitely return to try other items on the menu."

"Absolutely lovely place to dine. The food is tasty. New flavours for me. Also appreciated the friendly kind staff who treated us a little bit like family. She just casually came over and popped a Few collard greens on our plate. It was so sweet. The incense is a very good touch. Highly recommend."
