"We would have got better value had we gone to wow burger. The floor staff ignored us multiple times. We ordered gyosas for starters and two mains. We got one of the mains and after waiting a good 10 minutes, while waiting for my partner's main and after being ignored by 2 different people, a lady who seemed to be in charge came over to see if everything was okay. I explained our order and asked her if she could place my food under the lamps to keep it warm while the other main arrived. She took my plate after apologising and went to the pass to check. The second main came over but not together with mine, the lady who broughtit drop the plate and threw some cutlery on the middle of the table and carried on. When the blond lady in charge was passing by, noticed I didn't get my food and went back to the pass for it. We didn't get the starters after we were almost finishing our mains. 5 burnt and cold gyosas. It was sad. We didn't even try to stay for dessert as we were already too disappointed. My first time trying this restaurant was December 2020 when restrictions were lifted and every place was short-staffed, I had the same experience with staff. It seems to be the standard. They all seem to be very disinterested and unapologetic. Some other customers in the tables around us had the same experience. Two young ladies ordered their food around the same time as we did. One of them got her main and after she had finished the other one only received hers. Kudos to the blond lady, she was the only one who truly engaged with us."

"I’ve wanted to eat here since I moved north in November and it’ll be the first of many visits from now on. Our first time here with a table for 5 and all sharing meant we tasted a big section of the menu (see images of the menu). Each of the portions was very generous to say the least. What amazed us all we’re the complex flavour combinations. They were slightly weird on some but they all worked and very well too. Alkaline Nachos £10.95 Nachos with marinated baked quinoa, topped with refried beans, cashew sour cream, guacamole, pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage. All with a smoked cashew cheese drizzle over. They were indulgent, sweeter than I’ve had before and had tangy twist too. BBQ Tacos £9.50 Shredded carrot in an alkaline BBQ sauce in a crispy corn shell, filled with refried beans and guacamole. Topped with pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage, served with a side salad. Best BBQ tacos in the north so far. Thai Buddy Bowl £10.95 Orange teriyaki chickpea tofu surrounded by, pineapple 'fried ' quinoa, purple coleslaw, a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and quinoa falafels topped with mango chutney. Crazy flavours that worked really well. This was my favourite dish and I could eat this most days of the week. I’ll be back for this dish on its own. Thai Wrap £9.95 Quinoa and peanut butter falafels in a soft wrap with mango chutney, coleslaw and kimchi served with a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and pineapple quinoa. A mental combination of ingredients for a falafel but was amazing. Again, sweeter than I’d have imagined. Pink Pitaya Acai Bowl £5.50 A fruity smoothie bowl topped with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana kiwi and coconut (we held the seeds). What an amazing breakfast. A real power breakfast too. Immunity Boost Juice £4.00 (x2) Strawberry, pear, apple and lemon juice. Refreshing and moreish. Tropical Sunrise Smoothie £4.50 Papaya, mango, orange, banana, coconut, maple and cashew smoothie. It was as nice as you’d expect and none of the fruits lost their identity due to the power of another. Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie £4.50 Strawberries, banana, peanut butter, maple and lemon smoothie. Another one that doesn’t quite sound right but really does. The peanut butter was not overpowering and provided a nice earthy grainy taste and texture, lifted by the sweetness of the fruit. A great experience and worth the wait. Would I recommend Ohhhhhh Yes"
