Maybe it’s very healthy and no one knows anymore. Sometimes bad reviews hurts businesses let’s see if we can bring this business back to life!

The brother Yusuf saw me outside queuing up for the grand opening and was kind enough to let me in and tell me when my table is ready so that I didn’t have to wait outside and came back when the free platter was ready. The brother Esa and other waiters were really friendly. Food and environment was excellent. We even got a free drink and save £51. Definitely will come back again!
