Reviews
“The superfood salad, Moroccan meatballs, and gooey chocolate brownies inspire an almost messianic loyalty in the clientele of this London mini-chain. The menu specifies low-glycaemic, wheat- or dairy- free foods, yet everything tastes delicious. Leon is terrific” Zoe Williams, Sunday Telegraph
“One of the top 10 best restaurants to open in Britain this year. The food is great value, seriously healthy and delicious. Try the remarkably tender Moroccan meatballs and warm (free-range) chicken salad. An inspiring menu that doesn’t leave you short-changed” Esquire
You tend not to expect fast food to be free-range, grass fed, made of fresh seasonal ingredients boldly flavoured with spices & fresh herbs. But believe it or not, this is all on the corner of Carnaby Street. It’s obvious, but nobody had thought of it until now.” Tamazin Day-Lewis, The Telegraph
