The Menu

We particularly loved the starters on the menu and could have chosen so many. The Oven Baked Halloumi Cheese with grilled cherry tomato, red -green peppers, Crete extra virgin olive oil was delicious (£6.4) and a rather large portion. The Beetroot Borani served with avocado, strained yoghurt and toasted hazelnut was equally great and the two flavours perfectly complemented each other (£5.4).

On to mains and the Lamb Beyti (minced lamb with garlic and parsely cooked on a charcoal grill with rice and salad) (£14.7) was another favourite. The lamb was so succulent with no hint of dryness. We also tried the Chicken Kebab with yoghurt sauce served on a bed of toasted bread with garlic yoghurt, tomato sauce and drizzle of butter (£15.5).

Dessert Time!

We would return for the desserts alone! The Chocolate Truffle Cake (£5.9) was a gorgeous and indulgent treat. It was also presented so beautifully with pistachio and rose on top. The House Burma Baklava (£5.9) was also the perfect sweet end to a lovely meal.
