The food is delicious but the mains are small portions..Nice healthy options available, love the QR order and pay option. I wish they offered soup and sandwich option and different salad options like couscous salad, greek salad, 3 bean salad, or mixed salad option. I recommend this place it's really nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely.
