"We arrived for our meal and advised we were waiting for the third person in our party to join us, so they offered us a drink while we were waiting. We were then asked about 3 more times if we wanted to go to the table, which we declined as we were early anyway. When our other guest arrived, we advised the host that we were now ready, and he said to come to the table, only to then turn around and tell us that they weren't ready for us and to wait. We were taken to the table about 3 minutes later. The table was clean and laid for 3 as booked. It's a very contemporary decor. I ordered the smoked haddock on a broadbean and pea risotto, followed by the Monkfish and Cod scampi and chips. Our guest ordered the Goats cheese Crostini and Chicken Parmesan with a truffle Mac and Cheese. The smoked Haddock was nicely cooked, if a little bland and the risotto well made. The Goats Cheese Crostini went down well too! The Scampi was nicely cooked and flavourful, and the chips were perfection. The only things that brought it down was the mushy peas were cold and the dipping sauce for the scampi had a skin on it presumably it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The Chicken Parmesan was well cooked; the fried egg was nicely cooked and the Mac Cheese very tasty. I had the Kiwi and Lime Posset, my partner had the Chocolate Delice and our guest had the autumn berry gateau. The only issue with the dessert was the gateau was that our guest couldn't finish it! Not a problem. Tea and coffee were served, my only observation here is to let the tea brew a bit before pouring! Service: Very attentive waitresses, they checked back with us at nicely spaced intervals and cleared empty glasses etc. promptly. Very friendly and professional, the only thing that I could see was that there's too many people serving each table so the trainee isn't getting the true feel for serving. I also observed the tutors serving customers too while trainees stood chatting. To sum up, it's a good meal, good value for money and we will return!"

"One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! I visited this place on one of my trips to London from New York and I’ve got to say, I’ve never had food this fresh, delicious, and within a relaxing and chill ambiance. I was skeptical to visit since I hadn’t had North African cuisine before and didn’t know quite what to expect. We were seated in front of the chefs and the manager explained all the items on the small but interesting menu. The manager was more than happy to, and with a lot of patience, explain the menu, so don’t be shy and ask if you’re not sure what an item is. As the orders were placed, food came out sooner than expected, which was great! The plates were small but that was actually beneficial to trying a little bit of everything. The breads were fresh and soft with so much flavor! The dips were bursting with flavors of so many spices and seasonings. One of the dishes had a seared fish tossed with onions and tomatoes- and let me tell you, the tomatoes were like none I’d ever had before, they were fruity, crunchy and so yummy! I usually don’t like tomatoes but these were beyond normal tomatoes and that says a lot. Fish was fresh and tender. I could go on about the food, but overall, if you want to try something new that will blow you away, go here! Bring a friend so you can try a little bit of everything! Great food, chill vibes, not too expensive and an experience you’ll savor!"
