Before you go
What the guide flags for food lovers.
- Eat where the queue is: turnover means fresh food. (Eat guide · rules)
- Ask for 'slight pepper' or 'no pepper' if you are unsure: local pepper is hot. (Eat guide · rules)
- Prices on the sign are the price; where there is no sign, ask before you order. (Eat guide · rules)
