"Unpretentious, vibey"
8.0 Cuisine 8 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 8

A nice vibe, interesting food, friendly service, decor creative and a bit steam punk. There is a very young international feel to this place. Unpretentious.

"Great food!"
6.7 Cuisine 8 | Service 6 | Atmosphere 6

Food was absolutely delicious. 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts; and not one dish was a miss. They were divine. Portion sizes are big and excellent value for money.

The waitress was friendly. Unfortunately, she was the only waitress on duty and couldn’t properly serve every table. We were one of those tables.

Atmosphere is more bar like than restaurant like.

Tasting Menu : Asian 🇯🇵🇻🇳and Tex Mex 🇲🇽- restaurant week. Of the many one could chose, I chose this one as I always wanted to visit here.

Totally unpretentious when you walk in. You almost want to think… “did I book this?” They say never judge a book by it’s cover. As you sitting you notice the little things around you, and you start thinking this is going to surprise me…
Greeted with great smiles by Onassis who never failed us for a minute with his service. Always tentative. Then cane the food! Blown away by all the flavours. Not your average mussels! Cooked in coconut creme just bursting with flavour. Brinjal and chic pea was delicious. Got me thinking of trying to replicate this at home. Then came our mains - Japanese flatbread and chicken fajita. Totally wow! We were totally surprised by the portions. This was no “tasting menu” Gastronomical experince! Needless to say we demolished it! Washing it down with gin and craft beer as well as Onassis lovely cherry cola Drink. (anything cherry 🍒 for me) Even Onassis laughed and said we did well. Well we thought so too. we spent a few hours catching up and there was no hurry in the world to “give up your table”. Will definetly go and taste their other flavour’s from around the world. 🥘🌮🌍💯 22 April food from Syria🇸🇾 Choo Choo Junction, Linden
