Came on a busy Saturday and got a table right away. The staff were so clued up about gluten-free options, really put my friend at ease. The calamari was incredible though &ndash; perfectly crisp and tender.

A fun spot for families. The self-serve candy floss is a hit with kids. Could use a better drink selection to match the lively vibe.

The papaya salad is so fresh and crunchy, perfect for sharing with a couple of friends. The portion was huge, we couldn&#39;t finish it all! Staff were lovely and didn&#39;t rush us at all.

A proper traditional spot in the Northern Quarter. I really appreciate the focus on fresh ingredients here. The seasonal salad was crisp and vibrant, a nice change from heavier pub fare. Portion was decent for the price. The lively atmosphere is a bonus, but I come for the quality produce.

Been curious about vegan food, so gave this spot a go. The flavours were really creative and everything tasted well put together. The space itself is quite nice - lots of natural light and the tables are spaced out well, so it doesn&#39;t feel cramped.

Stopped in for a late dinner. The lamb kebab was spot on, really flavourful. The place itself is cosy, good for a casual bite. Drinks were decent too. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

Service was spot on - friendly and attentive without being in your face. Just let us enjoy the evening.

Tried the Yemeni lamb and Somali fish here. Both were solid, authentic East African dishes. Menu&#39;s extensive with Eritrean options too. Good for a straightforward meal if you&#39;re in the area.

The king prawn with salted egg yolk is the one. The sauce is thick and coats every prawn, that savoury, slightly gritty texture is spot on. Could have used a bit more curry leaf for aroma, but the flavour is deep. Just focused on that dish, really.
