Imagine a place with street food from around the world, I mean literally! From KFC and I mean Korean Fried Chicken of course, to a massive 12 inch Greek Gryos or if you are feeling saucy, perhaps a delicious Chicken Katsu curry!

I always love reading reviews for new food restaurants. I never thought that place like this existed and in all honesty its something that Newcastle needs. Good prices and interesting selection of food. Definitely going to try it and those wraps look so good.
