Apparently this is one of a 3-restaurant chain (the others being in Bayswater and Willesden Green).
The restaurant part is on the ground floor, and has glass-and-wood type decor. There's a long dining bar with tall stools, and plenty of tables, which are reasonably well-spaced for a London restaurant. Downstairs has a cocktail bar with leather armchairs; I think they have DJs down there some evenings.
The food is good and reasonably priced. There's a [sample menu] on the website. Plenty of veggie options, and some vegan options; although more in the mezze than the shish kebabs or other main course dishes. Pete felt that his halloumi and veg kebab could have had a few more pieces of halloumi, but I was very happy with my roast veg kebab. The mezze are probably a bit more interesting than the kebabs, but that's a common problem with this sort of restaurant.
