“My first visit here, and was blown away at how warm and inviting the place is..and omg try the spiced cauliflower 🤤 unfortunately the second time I went the cauliflower was the only reason we returned but it was different to the first time, it had a brown sauce was not very pleasing at all, and the drinks also were not as good as the first time, because of this and the slow service we won't be returning customers 😑”

“The food, however, was bland and unflavoured.”
“I was a bit disappointed as we ordered two types of tacos, and both were frankly unflavoured.”
