The food was very good! If you’re looking for a home cooked meal experience! 10/10 would recommend. And the staff were very friendly helping us find the vegetarian options!

Highly recommend. The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. What makes the experience even better is the staff: incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely wonderful people (also able to speak English). Great quality overall. Highly recommended if you want authentic food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Authentic great local cuisine serving very tasty food. The eggplant dish and the Sarma (stuffed capsicum) were delicious! If you want to get away from the standard kebab, try this little gem.
