I really love this place. Friendly staff (you are my friends after all those evenings here), good and well maintained shisha, delicious tea, tasty food and lovely atmosphere (the photo has been made in off-peak hour, there is many people usually). And really reasonable prices.
Been coming here since 2019, never a bad meal. Service and friendliness is faultless. Food is always consistent. A great gem!
We were visiting Blackpool from London over Christmas vacations and a friend highly recommended this restaurant and all I can say is what a hidden gem. The food and service was amazing even on Christmas Eve. The portions are a good size and we ordered the meat platter and some cold starters and must say was superb. Highly recommend this place and worth a visit and shall be coming here again if visiting Preston. A worthwhile drive from Blackpool.
All our meat is 100% halal-certified.
Absolutely! We offer halloumi mezze, falafel, tabouleh and more.
