The food is AMAZING, the coffee is like tasty velvet, and the Moroccan fit out is gorgeous.  This Middle Eastern cafe is definitely one of Mamma's favourites. Sit inside, sit out front OR sit in the gorgeous courtyard WITH photo booth. Everything on the menu here is a winner - especially if it involves halloumi fries or meat and salad platters, and they cater for vegos and vegans too!
