Wonderful little place that we recently discovered with a lovely, intimate atmosphere. The food is very fresh and different. We love sampling a variety of small dishes and sharing and this place is perfect for both. The lentil soup was incredible and the homemade laffas are the ideal accompaniment. The staff are attentive, very welcoming and extremely helpful in offering suggestions and tips.

It had been a while since I had eaten at Crowded House. God knows why - I won't leave it so long again. Great, fresh, tasty food. We all ended up eating bits of each others, because we were all ooohing and aaahing so much, we just had to "try" everything. The spicy shashuka IS spicy, just so you know. The Dawn Omelette was incredible. The waffles, everything. Wonderful brunch. See you again soon friends!

I made a res for my boss who held a bus lunch meeting - when he returned he said the food was amazing and the service excellent. I will definitely be earmarking my own visit as I love Mediterranean food.
