    Really likeable guy that served us, lovely smile and very friendly. The food was good as were the cocktails were good, just a shame it was so quiet so not much atmosphere although we were quite early. Would go again.

    Three flaky pastry rolls filled with a savory mixture, served on a bed of tangy tomato-based reduction and garnished with delicate purple flower petals.
    The exterior of "Betto" features a bright yellow facade, large windows, and string lights, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with outdoor seating.
    Thick-cut, crispy French fries topped with grated cheese, served with creamy garlic aioli and tangy ketchup.
    Crispy fried fritters, likely vegetable or fish-based, topped with pickled onions and served with a creamy dipping sauce and a wedge of lemon.

    Food was delicious. Borek and the Calamari are must-try items. Service was excellent, Bat the service agent was very friendly and made good recommendations on food and drink items.

    An assortment of fried appetizers including golden-brown croquettes with creamy filling and sour cream, tender stuffed green peppers with a hint of smokiness, and crispy vegetable spring rolls, offering a vibrant mix of textures and flavors.
    Tender chicken in a creamy yellow sauce with red bell pepper and garnished with blue edible flowers.
    Chorizo pieces in a rich sauce served on a creamy puréed squash base, garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor contrast.

    Wow! My reviews are usually the same, however, going here on Diwali today was an amazing decision! From the second we walked in, Carl ensured we had a memorable experience. The food, was cooked to perfection, and generous portions given the price point. Crispy croquettes, creamy arancini, the best borek I’ve had in a long time! Cocktails… Got the pear based one and lychee at happy hour rates, which was a steal. Extremely well balanced, and presentation on point! To finish everything off, the Turkish coffee was a treat. What can I say? We were both very happy, and we’ll spread the word and be back very soon!

    The service is always of the highest standards along with the ambience. Just for drinks this time and we had a merry cocktail, but next time will try some of those delicious food options when I have more time :)

    A selection of golden-brown croquettes filled with creamy cheese or potato, topped with sour cream or aioli, accompanied by lightly chargrilled green peppers, crispy fries with grated cheese, and dipping sauces including tangy ketchup and a creamy dip.

    The overall was excellent. The food was delicious which exceeded my expectation. The services was exceptionally fabulous and I would like to thank the server, Bat, for his smile and hospitality. I will come back again definitely.

    The food and service was superb! And the same goes for the cocktails! Delicious! The only thing we were disappointed with is that the tapas dishes came out one at a time instead of altogether as Tapas should. They need more staff in the kitchen to provide this.

    Our server was so lovely and regularly reminded us that he was there to serve us and make us happy and once we were happy he had done his job. We got peanuts on the house and a tequila rose also on the house at the end to finish off. Very generous, great service, lovely food and extremely lovely waiter. Would highly recommend and would love to return next time I'm here on holidays.
