We tried their lunch menu, which has far less variety than the regular one. The only pizza option was Margherita: tasty and nicely presented, but far too greasy with oil dripping from the slices (3/5). My wife’s chicken breast was dry and overcooked, and the rice was salty, though the halloumi fries and hummus starters were better (2/5). My son had a takeaway pizza from the main menu, much less greasy, and rated it 3—saying it would’ve been 4 if hot. Overall score: 3/5. Going back? Probably not.
