What Guests Are Saying
“Visited for the first time and was highly impressed with the food. It being fusion, you don’t know what to expect, but the waitress Dariia, was kind enough to give me a good recommendation, and it did not disappoint. Price is very reasonable, spent £20.80, which was for a meal and drink plus customer service. I would say it was defo worth it. Thank you for the great service, Dariia!”

We Meat Again Platter (Ilford): Families love this generous platter of lamb chops, grilled chicken wings, steak, prawns, and more. Guests praise how the meats are tasty and perfect for sharing.
Knockout Box (Nottingham): This dish is already the most talked-about in Nottingham. The box includes flame-grilled chicken, bold peri peri flavour, spiced rice, and fresh garnishes. It’s highly rated on Deliveroo and is a favourite for both delivery and dine-in.
