Just kind of fell into this place and honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The service was incredible and the staff and atmosphere were amazing. Food was tasty, hot, well seasoned and we had children that ate all of the food. 100% coming back. No calorie count in the menus but they will recommend based on requirements. Thank you for a wonderful Mother’s Day lunch
Really great place in Canterbury! Friendly people and delicious food. Menu includes half Italian and half Middle Eastern cuisine, which offer great options. I recommend the prawns and the lamb chops, both have a lot of flavor depth and are extremely enjoyable

Service was so helpful and nice and the place itself looks like a Mediterranean little garden. Definitely recommended.

We visited for dinner and had a really lovely time. The atmosphere is really good and the staff were attentive. We ordered the vegetarian mezze which was delicious and excellent value for money. We also had the desserts which were delicious. I highly recommend!
Delicious menu especially for a vegetarian, the meze was perfect to share whilst adding a side of chicken for the non-veggie! The table we wanted was not free when we arrived but Linda very kindly moved us as soon as a table became available, thank you Linda, you and your colleagues were very attentive!
Visited with my girlfriend for the first time. Great service and really good food. The chicken special dish was particularly good! :)
Just the perfect place to spend my mother's day. Amazing food, location and a lovely service!! I've planning to go in a while and it did not let me down. Recommend it.
