Ordered 4 main platters and 4 sides for a family of 6. I went and picked it up myself because I was outside their delivery area.
The food was hot by the time I got it back home on the table.
The appetizers were all fantastic. The Hummus and the Tzatziki were to die for. The only setback was the calamari. It was not fresh and soggy. I always like to try a menu item that's not popular and see if there's a hidden gem, but this was a miss.
Every main platter was absolutely amazing. The lamb, the chicken breasts and the chicken souvlaki were all perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender. The rice and lemon potatoes were heavenly and in very generous amounts.

Plenty of leftovers, and they were still delicious the next day.

The platters prices were very reasonable but the appetizers were a bit pricey. You can skip the appetizers altogether and still get a very decent full meal for less than $13. Main platters come with a tiny sides (dipping sauce size) of Hummus and Tzatziki.

I'll keep this on my list for the days we get tired of butter chicken, but still crave rice and chicken or lamb.
Don't be fooled by thinking that it's downtown because the address says it's on bank street. It's quite far, like over 10 minutes south of the airport. It's well worth the trip nonetheless.

The biggest surprise is that they're all rescue animals! Even that massive snake and huge crocodile... What were these owners thinking really?!

Kids loved every bit of it. Good for kids, young and big, my daughter, who is two, wasn't afraid to have the African emperor scorpion crawl on her hand a little bit 😁. Older kids have a lot more fun asking questions.

It's lovely to see all the junior volunteers as young as 12 carry snakes and take care of lizards.
