We just brought take out back to our room for lunch and we all three give it thumbs up. I had the chicken souvlaki sandwich. It was a generous portion and very tasty indeed. My husband had the falafel, also delicious and enough food for 2. My son had pulled meat sandwich which he said was delicious as well. Very good eats.

The menu looked good, so we decided to have our late lunch here. Good call, as it was one of our best meals in Cape Town!

Excellent service and delicious food. Cheap too, given the strength of the dollar vs. the rand.

We stumbled on this place on our first day and we ate here nearly every time after that! Fabulous food, cooked to order at a great price. Interesting ingredients and all really delicious. Wonderful coffee as well. Staff and service exceptional! Highly recommended.

Stopped for a quick lunch and wow! Fresh and so flavoursome. Lovely staff and a great choice of healthy but tasty options plus superb cakes. Couldn’t manage the cake so we went back the next day. Highly recommended.
