Reviews
Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The music was excellent and had us singing along. The decor was lovely. Such a nice location to enjoy dinner with friends. We had the sharing special deal which got us 2 mezzo dishes and a side each. Great food and every dish we had was delicious. Would highly recommend.
Read on Google MapsGreat afternoon in the Southside. Fabulous service, great food and wonderful cocktails. Lovely atmosphere and with music at a level you could still have a conversation with. Will be back to check out their live band evenings. Greek salad and Mango chicken with coconut rice.
Read on Google MapsAlways lovely friendly service and a really decent varied menu that's kept me coming back again and again! Lots of options for meat, veggie, or vegan, snacks, meze or mains. Portions are just right for the prices and quality too. It has a really comfortable atmosphere, ideal for just drinks or a substantial dining experience. I'm gluten intolerant and I like that the menu caters for this and servers understand to help with choices.
Read on Google MapsNipped in here for some lunch for my wifes birthday after having a look at what places were open locally and we were very happy we did. I love anywhere that serves smaller plates for sharing as you get to try a bit of everything and there was a good variety for all different pallets. I would say most of the dishes are medetterian meze inspired and a few of their own takes with certain dishes but the food really was lovely. The standouts for me were the Monkfish Cheek Scampi , Chicken Shawarama fries and the Muhammara , although I do wish it was served with a proper big flatbread instead of large grilled tortilla wrap. Really good drinks menu aswell and they even have Blue Moon on draught which is fantastic and might be the only place in the south of Glasgow you can actually get it. The decor is nice inside and the girl that served us was cheery, polite and attentive considering she was just on herself at lunch. Will absolutely be back for some more dishes soon.
Read on Google MapsSuch a fantastic experience! The food and the drinks were amazing — every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The service is always top notch and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and attentive. Furthermore, the place itself is absolutely stunning! The warm atmosphere made the whole evening even more special. Highly recommended if you’re looking for amazing food, GREAT service, and a beautiful setting!
