Edit: We came back again and had some lunch items and dessert - the mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, a tart, and some cake! Delicious and even the non gluten-free eater was happy and said he couldn’t tell the difference :)"

I started with the Mushroom bites and Pumpkin Soup, had the grilled Salmon for my main and sticky date pudding for dessert. Every dish just kept getting better and better even though they were all fantastic on their own. The service was quick and pleasant. The environment was calming and beautiful. I'll be back soon! Especially for the pumpkin soup!"

I recommend the salted caramel brownie, salted chocolate chip cookies, and wagyu burger. Their cupcakes and eclair are also good but the brownie is better."

A special thanks to Enid, who took care of us during our breakfast. She was very friendly, always smiling, and provided excellent service. Her communication was clear and professional, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!"

Mar 31, 2026"I’m not usually gluten-free, but my wife is, so we decided to check this place out — and I was genuinely surprised by how good the food was. For someone who normally eats gluten, the dishes tasted remarkably similar to the foods I’m used to, with no sense of compromise at all. We tried the fish and chips, manakish with za’atar and gibneh (cheese), mozzarella sticks, and finished with a slice of vanilla cake and a strawberry tart — everything was excellent. Honestly, I didn’t expect gluten-free food to be this good. Very impressed, and we’ll definitely be coming back."
