“We tried the new lunch kebab menu and loved it. The chef said today was the first day and wanted to hear some feedback...same thing I told her, it was amazing. Food was outstanding and well presented, proportion is just perfect. You get salad, bread, dip, 2 kebabs. We had chicken and seafood and shared. Chicken was so tender and seafood (prawn and fish) was spicy but well balanced. $18 was totally worthy for this amazing lunch. It also included a glass of house wine.
I finally found a good lunch place that I can enjoy with my work mates.
We will come back very soon.” –Ben
