This little restaurant was a great find! The food was excellent and freshly cooked and although the restaurant was very quiet as we dined early, we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We will certainly return as it's the perfect dining venue if you are going to Nell's for a gig. Thank you!

Wow!! The food was amazing. Everything perfectly spiced. They had the best mango freshly squeezed juice! The hummus was wonderful. The server was so excited about the food that it made the time even more enjoyable.

The food was not as expected. The chicken and lamb shawarmas were like curries, and the mixed grill was not a mixed grill. The lamb kebab tasted kike cardboard. The mousakka was like a veg curry/stew. The service was slow. We were served 1 main, then another 10 mins later, and then another two mins later. We were a group of 5 in a Thurs evening and the place was reasonably full. They only had 1 guy cioking and 1 guy serving.

Upon arrival, you quickly ordered before sitting to break your fast, taking advantage of the 50% discount available through the Fork Festival app. We happily provided complimentary dates, and appetizers arrived promptly. Your party grew to five, with two joining 45 minutes later, and you ordered more dishes. No complaints arose, and all plates returned empty. Due to the current economic situation, we were operating with a reduced staff. This might have caused variation in order timing, as each dish takes time to prepare, and we served other customers too. Nonetheless, nearby tables, who ordered similar dishes, praised their meals. The food not being served simultaneously doesn't imply it was unsatisfactory. If you had issues, addressing them at the restaurant would have allowed us to fix them. You ordered three mixed grills, with one plate arriving first, then the other two. If dissatisfied, it's puzzling why you ordered two more mixed grills. You also ordered two shawarma platters, similar to the mixed grill

First of all, the restaurant owner said we must get drinks in order for 50% off to work, they said Fork phoned them to confirm it. I showed him the Fork and said there's no such requirement. They insisted us to order drinks. Fine, we ordered one. The food is so horrible, first the salad is super salty and sour, second, the grilled food we ordered is not cooked by grill at all. It tastes like stir fry. And the flavour wise it's horrible, it's so far away from authentic. The chicken shawarma tastes like chicken curry. Lastly, the fresh apple juice we ordered tastes like adding soda. This is entirely disappointing when it's 4.6 on google review. The owner did deduct the bills for me in the end but I had to go to toilet after this. I highly doubted it's quality.

Lovely atmosphere, cool ethnic vibe and wonderful service! Food was plentiful, and delicious! Try the baba ganouj! The pastries were amazing as well. Would love to come back soon!

Very nice food and quiet atmosphere. They kindly gave us free garlic and tahina dips on the side to complement the dishes which I thought were chargeable. Our favourite was the spicy sausage starter. We will return!
