This is a cute place with a Moroccan feel which is nice for drinks and catch up with friends. The layout of the sofa which can accommodate a large group on both sides feels a bit odd but I can't say why. The food is quite average and parking can be challenging on busy nights.
Small cosy bar. Serves both alcoholic drinks and hot drinks. Good place to go for social drinks. Nice pillows and couches to sit around. Always busy which is a good sign. There is a car park out the back with plenty of spots. The fresh mint tea and their hot chocolates are great!
A good place for a weekend evening to chill and meet up with a large group of friends. Stake your claim on the couch area at the back entrance and you'll soon feel at home.
The service is OK and the food is just OK, drinks are OK too but the place has a nice, relaxed atmosphere that, if you live nearby, is a reason worth the visit.
