What People Say

"I would recommend this place to anyone who loves good food, cooked authentically and a lovely un-rushed atmosphere."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious, flavourful food and the friendly, welcoming service.

"Absolutely delicious food at a good price. We ordered the mixed grill, traditional platter and lamb chops. Everyone walked away feeling extremely full and satisfied! Meat was full of flavour and the hummus dips were divine. Will definitely be back!"

"Stunning Shishas with Al Fakher tobacco (high quality). The beef kofta kebab was perfect with authentic garlic sauces and the chips were perfect seasoned. A visit is duty if you want a tasty and friendly restaurant visit."

"Amazing food, everything was fresh, you could taste the bread being done just for your plate and the taste is maybe the best Mediterranean I have had in New Zealand. The manager has a nice way to make you feel welcome and we'll attended. There're a 10 for customer service and an 11 for food quality."
