I enjoyed my visit to Calistos. Great ambience, neat. Remarkable food options - I particularly enjoyed the fillet steak, as well as the passionfruit mojito. Adequate car parking space with good service. Special thanks to Alex who saw to our needs. Definitely worth a visit.

I had a great time here with friends, the food was great and staff were helpful and friendly. Plus points: There's parking available and a prayer room big enough for a few people. Only negative point is that it was cash only (the mini ATM on the premises was out of order).

Very nice ambiance and staff members were so professional and welcoming. Loved their Vibes. We ordered the Sea Food and chicken. The chicken was so juicy and tender. For seafood i would say the Crab was the best part, they cooked the crab so well. Everything was so nice.',we enjoyed a lot. The best part is there is

Food was genuinely phenomenal - everything we had was 10/10. The chicken, the beef and the prawns. We were really impressed by the manager Sam and Emma was our server - she was friendly and supportive as it was our first time.

New favourite place! We came in on a Tuesday and luckily for us, it was empty! From the outside I didn’t expect it to look so pretty but once you walk inside, you’re greeted by the lovely staff members and the amazing decor! Very Instagramable! Sam and Habz were amazing! Habz was the best waitress, very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Sorry can’t remember the gentleman’s name at the bar but he was lovely too! Kept my little one entertained once he finished eating! Food was 10/10! Everything was cooked perfectly and looked amazing! We ordered the smallest platter which was for 2 people because you can clearly feed more than 2 people as the portion sizes are huge! Mussels were amazing! Again big portion and bursting with flavour! We didn’t order any drinks this time round as we just wanted water but the mocktails looked amazing! We were so pleased to see a fully kitted out prayer room! It’s a small prayer room with a wudhu area- all extremely cleaned and tidy! They provided towels, abayas if you need to cover up and thobes! Absolutely brilliant! Toilets were toilet but clean so you can’t complain! Dessert menu looked great too! Overall we loved the experience and will definitely be coming back!- Wait time

We had the Porto platter. It was absolutely gorgeous. Chicken was well cooked in beautiful marinade and the prawns and chips were very tasty. We went on a quiet Wednesday night at 8:30pm. The place looks great but quiet. I’m sure the ambiance is 5 star when busy and buzzing. The waiting staff were really lovely and attentive. First time at Calisto’s and it certainly won’t be the last. We really enjoyed it - thank you
