My favourite spot in the city-delicious, mouth-watering, affordable, & good for many dietary restrictions. Can't get enough of that green sauce.

We ate here two days in a row. The food is really good & suitable for people with celiac disease (100% gluten-free). They even have gluten-free beer. Reasonable prices & hardly any waiting time.
