A lovely, warm atmosphere with a delicious, varied menu. Make sure you add both the pumpkin and the mushroom pizzas to your order. Outside in Summer would be the ideal location!

The service was impeccable. The food was fresh and delicious and the ambience was just right. We only ordered vegetarian entrees and regret not trying out the main dish.

The food is fab, the wine list is amazing, but what really shines at Mr. Lawrence - the staff. Just purely, undeniably the best element of a great relaxed place to hang out and have an unpretentious bite, beer and / or glass of wine!

Had to wait for a long time and even then one of the meals was late. Didn't order desserts, went to another restaurant which was much better.

Food was fantastic, ambience was fantastic, the staff were genial, prompt and enthusiastic. Really couldn't fault the place at all. Don't feel weird if you find yourself loitering around the toilets analysing the airport maps, the best wallpaper I've seen. Great place, am certain to return.

Excellent service, friendly and helpful. A+ food, it's all delicious, especially the lamb zaatar, lamb tagine, seafood tagine. Desserts were amazing, the sticky date and pannacotta were the best I'd ever eaten. Go here and enjoy!

Great food and reasonable wine list. The lamb shoulder was a stand out dish for us. Make sure you get a table in the front room or outside as the back room is a little sterile.

We went for dinner tonight and it was great. The choice of meals was excellent and also the choice of wines by the glass and by the bottle. The food was fresh, with great flavour and I finished it all off with a great Affogato.

The food was tasty & fresh except the dessert Kunefe. The cheese inside should not have been like a rock but stretchy, warm and melting as on pizza base. Friendly and attentive service. Definitely, I will go back.

Enjoyable food and drinks. Pizzas only $10 on a Monday, warm and cosy. Was only less enjoyable because my baby was running around, it's not really child friendly in that sense but the staff didn't mind.
