Ate here for the first time. I ordered the breakfast plate omelette with pork sausage and the deluxe bagel for the wife. My omelette was too salty.Since I like the ambiance, I decided to stay here and work on some projects with my laptop. A few hours later the manager told me I can't stay here because I didn't order anything. He said that I have to order something in order to stay. I'm using his electricity and rent is expensive. This is not Starbucks. He also said the employees didn't see me buy anything.So I showed him my receipt that I ordered breakfast. I did buy something. What a terrible experience. Will probably be my last time eating here.

The quality of the food is excellent, but the service can be inconsistent. While calling ahead doesn't always guarantee a quick start, I experienced a delay when I called this morning. Despite being told it would be a 10-minute wait, I arrived 15 minutes later and then had to wait a few more minutes before my food was prepared. It's worth noting that I was the only customer at the time. Overall, I would give the food taste an A, but the timely service only deserves a C-.

The food is great but it's a hit or miss with the efficiency of the service. Calling ahead doesn't always give you a head start, and this morning I called, was told 10 minutes, arrived 15 minutes later, and it then took them another couple of minutes to actually start making my food. I'll also mention that I was the only person in the place. So, A+ for food taste, C- for timely service. Book a table now

I would not recommend the beef gyro wrap. The meat was of low quality, the bread was not right, and the tzatziki sauce was lacking in flavor. The service was brisk and somewhat impolite. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy, but I think I will opt for a different dish on my next visit.

Large menu and Vfriendly staff, they always ensure that you are happy with your order. I'm picky with my burritos and they always make it the way I want it! New recommendation: Try the grilled chicken burger meal with fries and a drink, it's good and worth the price.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The customer service was rude, there was a hair in my salad, and overall it was not pleasant. It's a shame because there are many people working in the Towers who would appreciate a good lunch spot.

Excellent selection of lunch options. Soups and salads ready to go. Hot BBQ, many drinks and snacks options. My favourite is the Falafel packed in Spinat Tortilla. A must! Book a table now

I frequently visit this restaurant to enjoy their delicious and well-prepared food. The quick service is another plus. I give it 5 stars.
