From grilled meats to vibrant salads, slow-roasted vegetables to fragrant herbs, we serve bold, authentic dishes made fresh every day—with sun-drenched flavours and a whole lot of love. Located just steps from Southgate Station, we’re proud to bring comforting Mediterranean soul food and warm hospitality to North London.
