Service veryyy slowww! Got seated straight away (yay), nice single seat corner booth type vibe (win), laptop out get working, WiFi on the table with the QR code, (smooth) scan, checkout the menu (decent) tap in the wi-fi - get online, (patterned)... No one has come over yet... All good... Well, I worked for the next 10 minutes waiting for someone to come over, it even got so bad I was staring at every member of staff trying to get someone to make eye contact (which they didn't), so I literally just gave up and figured I'd just work until someone had had enough of me being there...
Meanwhile the music is wayyy too loud and the music is 80's club, but the really pop side of it like 'Radio Gaga'. Fine if you like that sort of thing blaring out while you try to have a chat with your friends - even the waiter kept asking the women next to me to repeat their order cause he couldn't really hear them.
All that said, once I ordered, the food was with me in about 5 minutes (not too bad).
I ordered the Smokey Chicken Shawarma - Lord this thing was oily! Look at them pics, it made a pool in the basket and they only gave me one napkin 🫠 I couldn't see any napkins out anywhere and as I said before, you can't get any eye contact in here, so I couldn't even signal to anyone I needed napkins cause my hands and face were covered in oil and sauce (lol). So I just had to soldier it with one napkin - Apart from the oil and the bit of mess it takes making to eat it, it really hit the spot, I liked the flavours, the textures, pretty filling but you will need to combine it with the fries (which are also nice - seasoned) to really hit that munch spot.
One annoying thing about the menu is they do that thing where there is no £ or € symbol just the numbers... If you know the psychology of this, then you know, if you don't...
I had the house ice tea which was an iced tea with strawberry, which looked nice with a straw, an orange, two... Blueberries?? and ice ... But man ... It's the blandest and most watery iced tea I've had here and I have it every lunchtime. Really disappointed - maybe it needs to brew longer becaue it was very weak.
The price in total came to a little over €18, which for a major city centre isn't unusual but, you know what, it's too much and maybe that's to be said of the prices everywhere. We aren't getting much at all for our money anywhere we go.
Small note - The toilet is all genders, so if you are someone that does find that uncomfortable, it is something to know ahead of going - Nice bit of reed diffusers, antibacterial and hand cream action going on in there though as well as a funky poster.
