    We ordered the vegetarian/vegan platter and eggplant dip. Both were very tasty. Maybe a little bit more crisp bread with the dip would have been good as there was a lot of dip. The service was flawless - friendly, smiling greeting and top ups of water were frequent. The main meal was full of flavour and we all felt great afterwards. The food wasn't oily or too salty as it can be sometimes at restaurants. Overall a nice meal and we will go back in the future.
