A small quaint place. Not much in decor but the food is very interesting! Gotta try something new from time to time! Service was slow to begin and the owners son was drunk when we arrived.

Had a really pleasant experience here. Feels like a small family(ish) run place. The menu is a little intimidating but there are plenty of pre-built combos that let you try a bit of lots of things. We were skeptical that for 2 was actually enough food for 2, but the portion was big enough that in the end we didn 't even finish it all. Everything was good but the veg dishes were the standouts (particularly the collard greens). Don 't sleep on the Veggie combo.Service was friendly but pretty hands-off. The space is no-frills but tidy with plenty of seating. I felt comfortable while eating. Definitely worth a trip if you 're looking for something different but low-pressure. Would recommend!

Wow! Excellent food. Outstanding value for money. We had the Warka special for two and could not finish everything. Friendly staff. It is not a fancy-schmancy place but it has its own charm and character.Vegetarian options: Many Options

What a hidden gem! I had no idea this place existed in my twenty years of living in Guelph, and I was so thrilled to find it. The food is excellent, the staff is incredibly friendly, and it's often bustling with people eager to enjoy what they have to offer. I highly recommend it!

For a couple of restaurant avoiding vegans, this was a wonderful experience. Friendly people and good healthy food. Can't ask for anything more.
