Amazing experience! Food was delicious! Our server was more than helpful, even guiding us on how to make the breads themselves. I cannot say enough good things about it! Gluten free to top it off & our sever helped me choose options that didn't have dairy. My teenager announced it was one of his two favourite restaurants... High praise! Would definitely recommend.

Should try the sandwiches. Very flavourful (sweet & sour). I tried guava & Lole but the Lole is a must try.
Also the prices are very good, drinks plus sandwiches with tip less than 25$

when i say my sister came back here TWICE in one day, im being completely serious! food was so comforting & well portioned for the price. Inside, the staff is very friendly & the service was great. Food was also very quick! The bun was perfect & very generously stuffed. All came with a side salad which was refreshing (don't know the sauce that went on it but it was so good!). We absolutely love this place & it's definitely worth checking out!
