    Our table had a variety of food. For starters, Humus with Lamb was perfect, everyone enjoyed it. The Mirra Plate for 1 is amazing with various types of lamb and chicken, if you’re in doubt, I do recommend this one. If you fancy some seafood, the plate with Seafood Skewers is really good and it comes with a lot of vegetables and salads really well seasoned. Also the Salmon Plate was delicious as always, I’m yet to find a place that beats it. For Drinks, Yakut red wine was perfect and they also serve delicious mocktails. Our servers were so attentive and welcoming, it’s an amazing staff. Food and drinks are also quick. But I do recommend taking your time enjoying the experience.

    It would have been perfect, except for the table next to us had very young children who were playing a video on an I pad very loudly throughout most of our meal.
