“Never disappoints”
We have been to Tei Avon numerous times, and can honestly say the quality of food and service is always top notch. Caroline is attentive and informative. Definitely worth a try, everything from their ribs to calamari to burgers to shwamas. We had it all. We even played a few rounds of Uno which we selected from their games table. Can highly recommend.

“Yes, Yes, Yes for Schwarmas”
Sunday afternoon lunch...went with low expectations and what a pleasant surprise. If the weather is great...sit outside and experience the vibrant Greenside action. Friendly waiter, great service and even better food. Had the American and Moroccan Schwarmas (and a cold bottle of Sauvignon Blanc). Both were out of this world. Getting parking is well worth the struggle. If you do not like what they have on offer you can even build your own. Will be back. Again and again.

“Great schwarma that can come deconstructed or not”
After seeing my favourite Turkish eatery closed, I was recommended to visit Tei Avon. The grilled meat is fantastic, sauces great and flavours authentic, I will definitely go back again. I miss the roti-style bread the other place had, and found the pita a bit boring, athough still sufficient. I tried hummus with tahini which I found overpowering. They forgot to provide a small side too. The baklava was too heavy on the nuts and not enough pastry & tasted more like golden syrup than honey. Sorry for the complaints, but if these can be fixed, they have a winner. Definitely going back for another try though.

“Schwarmas to die for”
If you like schwarmas or wraps you have to try Tei Avon. Excellent food which is well presented and an explosion of tastes. Service was friendly and attentive . Its now one of my favorite places for lunch and I'm slowly working my way through the menu and all equally good so far. Lamb,beef, chicken or falafel they are all delicious.

“Genuine eatery that takes pride in their cuisine!”
Tei Avon is my go-to place when my home internet packs up!The service is excellent, unobtrusive but considerate, and management takes a direct hand in overseeing the meals that go out. They are best known for their shwarmas (laffas are made on site with pride and are super fresh!!) but their food is also ideal if you are looking for tapas style with authentic Middle East flavours and a lovely selection to pick from. And they don't mind you whiling away an entire afternoon on your laptop - in fact, they will seat you next to a plug point in a quiet spot!If you are lucky enough to try them in winter, go for one of their soups - my favourite is the lentil.Whether you are looking for a quick lunch before/after shopping in the centre, or are a business person searching for a quiet spot to work during an afternoon, this is the place to work and eat!
