    Very good meaty Sunday feast in Hoxton! We had the Mixed Grill Feast* (£30 per person). Serving a huge plate of grilled beef sirloin, lamb leg and pork loin chops - comes with sides of Greek salad, Hummus, Roasted Beetroot Labneh, toasted bread and chips. The cuts of meat were decent, portion size was huge (especially for the grilled feast). The bread was very good! Service was good. Great taste, decently priced and very worth it. Would definitely come back for the grill feast, and would highly recommend! *Unlimited Brunch Feast until 6PM (Saturday and Sunday)

    Fresh food, great quality, and generous portions. There isn't a lot to dislike about this place and it is nice retreat from the many overpriced, overrated and overcrowded Shoreditch restaurants

    Restaurant is great example of primary focus on the food. Portions are generous and well fulfilling. Quality is rather outstanding. Went there couple times and highly enjoyed myself. They tend to change menu, depending on products in stock, which should ensure that you will never get bored and have a fresh indigrients, which makes menu smaller then usual, but it's great.

    Delicious food with generous portions and reasonable price. Very cosy and warm environment and service. The aperitifs and house red wine were lovely as well.

    What an absolute delight of a meal! Our visit to Hoxton for the Mixed Grill Feast at £30 per person was an incredible experience. The substantial platter boasted grilled beef sirloin, lamb leg, and pork loin chops, accompanied by Greek salad, Hummus, Roasted Beetroot Labneh, toasted bread, and baked potatoes, evoking a sense of home. The experience was truly worth it. I'm keen on returning for the grill feast and would enthusiastically recommend it. The staff's warmth and friendliness added to the enjoyment. And remember, don't overlook the Unlimited Brunch Feast available until 6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays!

    Generous servings, great value and most importantly the lamb and pork loin (these were the entree sizes) were perfectly cooked. The service was good and the nice thing is they don't just shove service charge on their bill. We had the decadent dark chocolate fondant for dessert. I'll be back to try the mains!

    Don’t be scared by the funny looking candles on the table. It’s a popular restaurant among the locals. They have a small menu (sorry vegetarians), we tried the chicken schnitzel, the 300g stake and crème brûlée. It’s one of those places that offers simple but good quality food. Potions of the mains are huge - especially the 300g stake and they are not lying.

    Honestly.... this place. I found it a few months back and it has set a high benchmark for eating out. I've been to other places, often far more expensive than here and they fall far short in terms of quality and service. The menu is small but I think it's a plus; all the dishes are so tasty and the portion sizes are so generous given the prices. In particular, the pork belly and steak is to die for. Finally, the staff know how to run a restaurant, friendly and attentive but not pushy. No compulsory service charge either, which makes me more inclined to tip more. Don't change a thing!

    At £25, this has to be the best value Sunday roast (with a Latin twist) in all of London. Seriously ! The steak, chicharrones and chicken wings were delicious. And the accompanying salads and sides, very tasty. Generous portions is an understatement. A jewel of a neighbourhood cafe/restaurant. One of London’s best kept secrets, no doubt.

    Excellent service and excellent food. If the lamb rump & chicken schnitzel are on the menu, you should give them a go! The chicken was juicy with lightest crumb crust. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly and extremely tender. While there wasn’t another patron in the space, it didn’t stop us—don’t let it stop you!

    I have never had such an amazing meal. This is the best place ever. Hidden gem. Food was spectacular the lamb perfectly. Don’t get me started on the atmosphere what a beautiful restaurant with amazing cosy vibes

  • 5/5 Daniela Hornskov S. 1 year ago on Google
    Is this weirdly Hoxton street's best kept secret?? The food is SOOOOO delicious. Proper satisfying to eat. Amazing huge tasty sandwiches for lunch menu, and every dish we had on the evening tapas menu was full character of flavour. Great portion sizes too.

  • 5/5 Rob M. 1 year ago on Google
    Epic schnitzel and pork belly, excellent cocktails and laid back vibes. Portugese tunes blasting were a welcome addition. A hidden gem!

  • 5/5 Stephen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very eclectic menu, but everything we had was great. If they have the schnitzel and the lamb, you should definitely do those!

    Fantastic little restaurant and really delicious food. I thought the menu was a bit limited but decided to try it and didn't regret it at all.

    I had a tough day and went to the restaurant. The owner is so kind to offer me favors and really helped me out. The food is also very good. I’ll definitely have more next time when I feel better. I think it’s worth the price plus it has good flavor and I couldn’t finish all of them by my own.

    Best place I’ve had dinner in London. The food is exceptional. The staff is so kind and friendly. Highly recommend going for a cozy homey feels like I’m in my moms kitchen meal.
