Heard alot about them. So I went to had some Mediterranean food with my friends. I tried their Chicken Shawarma (it was huge 8 pieces in one shawarma with chips and dips, delicious in taste, can easily fill two people I think. Loved it), Coffee smoothie was also delicious thick, rich in coffee, filled with cream and chocolate syrup. Will visit again soon ان شاء الله. Ordered via menulog click and collect. The taste of food was really good. Quantity was big enough to fill your cravings. Owners were very kind and friendly.Yes they serve halal ALWAYS confirm before placing the order (Please DM or call them for any further enquiries). Thank you
