Diners rave about the generous portion sizes, with many dishes leaving guests pleasantly stuffed. The mixed grill, particularly, has garnered a following for its rich flavors and substantial servings. Freshness shines through in the tabbouleh, which complements the rich, hearty kebabs beautifully. The welcoming and efficient staff also enhance the dining experience, ensuring prompt service even during the busiest hours. The restaurant's tea selection stands out, providing a comforting finish to a fulfilling meal. Guests appreciate the cosy and vibrant environment, making it the perfect backdrop for fun gatherings or laid-back solo meals.
Most Disliked
Cash payment only can be an inconvenience for some diners, particularly those who prefer card transactions. While the restaurant maintains high food quality, busy periods can lead to longer wait times for tables, though many find the wait worthwhile. Occasionally, the comotion of the crowd affects the overall noise level, which might not suit everyone looking for a quiet dining experience. The limited menu options for those seeking lighter fare or unhealthy indulgences could also present a challenge for some guests. Overall, these minor drawbacks do not dampen the restaurant's community enthusiasm nor the appeal of its well-executed dishes.

Always an Excellent Experience! The food standard here is very good, everything is cooked fresh & full of flavour. Even though the place is generally always busy, the staff work so hard and manage to keep the food quality consistently high. Portion sizes generous, and every dish iv tried here is delicious and satisfying.

This place is a taste sensation. Although very busy, a short 5 minute wait is normally only needed before a table is available. You won't be disappointed as all the food is excellent and tasty. We have been here a few times and whether you have the meat dishes or falafel, hummus, everything is top notch. Efficient, friendly staff ensure your table is clean and food delivered promptly. So many nice dishes you'd need a week to try them all 😋😋

Went this place after my graduation, the place was quite full, so we decided to stay outside and have our food as the weather was good. And we ordered our food and when it came to pay, they only accepted the cash so, we went to get our money from card. And the staff were very friendly and even showed us from where to get the cash from. And after 30mins of ordering our food it came on the table which looked amazing and was very appealing. We enjoyed the meal. It was 10/10. I highly recommend this place🫶will definitely visit again.

Wonderful food at a great price. The portions are generous, everything is cooked to order and the fresh salad was a wonderful contrast to the rich grilled meats (which have just the right amount of char). We had the mixed grill and the lamb chops with chips and wedges respectively, which came to £33, and haven’t stopped thinking about it since! Staff were very nice but could be supported by a bit more signage about what to as you come in, whether to order at the counter (you do!) and the fact it is cash only, which was a huge shock! But it’s worth it, and if we make a return trip to Preston, it will be our first stop!
