"I stumbled upon this place while walking around the area, and I was so happy I did! It’s been over 8 months since I’ve been there (I was only in the area because I was on vacation), but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since and finally decided to write a review. The working staff are so kind, down to earth, and quite hospitable! They gave me a snack to munch on while waiting for my food and were very accommodating. Not to mention, the food was absolutely delicious and had great flavor. This place is truly a gem, certainly worth trying!!"

"Hidden Roma gem! Seriously, best samosa we had. Everything we had here was really good: pizza, sandwiches, coffee, pastry. Everything is super fresh and served with a smile. We bumped into the place by chance, and made it our regular place."

"In my opinion, this has to be a 5 star restaurant because the food is delicious and for muslim people who struggle finding basic foods with salami and other meats, this is made for them. It's all halal and this should be loved more, it's super underrated and i prefer it's kebab than all kebabs that i tried in my life. Even though it's new and still not known by most people, i hope the people who tried it's foods loved it. The staff is really cooperative and friendly, it never gets angry nor sad. The foods are mostly fresh and not oily like most foods that i tried. Thanks for the delicious food and thank you to the staff members, they made my day better."
