    • Shane M. ★★★★★ Yes they had coffee. And cold sodas and Nigerian food. But most menu items - they did not have, eg. Parfait. So it was disappointing. But it is modern and tidy inside. Shane (New Zealand / Australia)

    • HRH A. ★★★★★ Omo your shawarma attendant could use some training. The bread is too soft, making it hard to eat without making a mess. Also, the foil paper bits get mixed in with the food, which isn't great. Consider improving your seasoning and switching to a safer wrapping material like paper. Thank you.
