    Absolutely awful service. Took forever to order. Brought wrong order twice and then tried to charge us for things we hadn’t ordered. Filthy floor. No paper in loo. Won’t be back.

    The food is alright, but not worth the price. If halal is not a requirement for you, there’s 10x better options in other places for the fraction price of here.

    I went here on a Sunday evening, the restaurant was busy but wonderfully the noise level was low, the food was really good, great choices for veggies and vegans. The staff were friendly and great. I’d definitely go back another time.

    The starters were really nice. We took the Korean bbq menu. Good meat and a fair number of choices however not enough veggies with it, it quickly becomes off putting (you get 4 pieces of carrot and a small bouquet of mushroom, no refill but the salad leaves.). Service was reactive.

    I came here for my joint birthday dinner with my friend and had requested it for it to be special when making the reservation. There was nothing special about it unfortunately. The food was nice overall. Service was pretty good. I don’t believe the value was worth the good we got. I got a large portion of fried chicken for just over £16 and got like 7 small pieces. So overall it was okay but was a little let down that my request to make it special wasn’t attended to.

    The food tasted very good! It was our first time ordering and eating korean bbq, but it did not disappoint. And the restaurant was fully halal which is always a plus! The staff were very friendly and helpful, but they also let you eat peacefully and assisted when needed. Overall experience was wonderful and we will definitely be back once we visit London again!

    Overall excellent. A little smoky but otherwise an outstanding experience. More vegan options would be great in the future.
