" Had a nice meal here, but didn’t quite hit the spot. I’d say the food was average, but very fresh. The service was excellent, very prompt and attentive. I may try some different dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many Mediterranean restaurants, but Cafe 220 truly stands out to me. The flavors of the lamb kebabs were impeccable, and the freshness of the ingredients were evident. The staff greeted us with smiles and the owner even recommended the best dishes. We were lucky to grab a table outside, and I enjoyed my meal with a lovely view. The portions were generous for the price. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very satisfied with my meal at Cafe 220! The lamb kebab was perfectly grilled, and the spices were on point. Enjoyed every bite! The staff was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of, and we were pleasantly surprised with a couple of complimentary teas. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food. I’ll definitely be making this a regular spot for my Mediterranean cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Cafe 220 was delicious, I particularly loved the Chicken Shish Kebab! It was tender, bursting with flavor, and the accompanying salad was fresh. However, the service was a bit on the slower side, but it was worth the wait. The outdoor seating adds to the charm of the place. I would recommend trying the Baklava for dessert; it's heavenly! I’m looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for Mediterranean food lovers! I’ve tried several dishes, and each brought unique flavors to the table. The lentil soup and moussaka are must-tries. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I can't say enough good things about the hospitality either, the owner was so welcoming. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot for a casual meal! The staff are delightful and the food is quite good. We enjoyed the lamb and beef gyro wraps. They were loaded with fresh ingredients but fell a bit short in spices. Still, my experience was mostly positive, and it’s always nice to be greeted with a hot cup of tea at the end of the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was feeling adventurous, so I ordered the Alexander Kebab. It did not disappoint! It was generous in portion and packed with flavors. The staff provided exceptional service, always checking on us. The complimentary tea was lovely, too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone craving Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)
