Quite a small space but what there is has lots of character. Would love to return and see it during normal operation & try more of the venue.

The shakshuka pans arrive at the table filled to the top. The servings are very generous, with each accompanied by 2 homemade pita breads. The sauce is full of flavour, with chunks of capsicum, tomato and eggplant. I loved dipping the pita into the sauce and scooping out the vegetables.<br/ <br/ Minor issues, which are just personal preference: the haloumi in the sauce would have been better, if they were grilled and just simply placed on top of the sauce. And the chorizo shakshuka consisted of pieces of chorizo slices, which I would have preferred if it was crumbled up chorizo sausage meat. Overall, the shakshukas are homely, great tasting and satisfying to eat; perfect for a lazy Sunday.<br/ <br/ At $19 each, $16.50 for original), the price is a little higher than some other places that serve shakshuka, with most hovering around the $16 to $17 mark. However, the servings are much more plentiful, so an extra couple dollars can be seen as not a big deal.<br/ <br/ Great place for breakfast or lunch, with currently 4 locations to choose from.
