i created my own bowl and it was soo worth it. i loved being able to choose the ingredients i like, and everything in my bowl was so good. the pasta was cooked perfectly and so was the egg. the shrimp was good and fresh, and i loved the flavour of the potatoes! i highly recommend getting the signature basil pesto as the dressing. it’s so worth it and such a yummy pesto! service was great too. wasn’t that crowded at around 7pm, and i really enjoyed my dinner here. will be back again!

Portion is really small for its price. I paid extra $0.50 for pomegranate but there was barely any given. Few pieces of brocolli too and it's so small. Would not come back again

First things first: I love that a halal place is celebrating Pride Month with pride. Major kudos to the shop for that. Now, the food. It was a pretty average healthy salad bowl, I’d say. My main issue was with the beef, which was cooked well-done and took a lot of chewing before I could swallow it — not ideal during a lunch meeting. I’d also gladly skip the ginger espresso next time. It sounded interesting, which is why I ordered it, so that’s on me. But taste-wise, it really didn’t work for my palate.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, which made for a very pleasant atmosphere. However, the food was a bit of a letdown. The vegetables in the salad felt a little too raw, and the broccoli and pumpkin were significantly undercooked and quite hard. This made them very difficult to chew, which would be a major concern for senior diners or anyone needing softer textures. I’d love to see the kitchen ensure the root vegetables and tougher greens are cooked through properly. It’s a lovely spot with great service, but the food needs a bit more care in the preparation.

Food was decent, but the portion size was not great. There’s a supplement of $2 for prawns, yet there were only 3 pieces given. There aren’t many other protein toppings available except for egg so the meal did not feel too substantial.
