Ok I realize that this is 'fast food' but I frequent this place enough after the gym that I thought I'd give it a review. I have to say that while the bread most of the time seems too 'crumbly', the vegetables are always very very fresh.

Service is a definite improvement over Via, however, the wine list was very disappointing. The wines were grotesquely (pun intended) overpriced and selection mediocre. Food wasn't bad, however, wasn't worth the price. Atmosphere was too bland and too much like Via (well, they painted and new chairs). I think that the chef is high caliber, but the rest of the dinner felt 'hacked' together. I'm not saying I won't go back, but it'd have to be someone else's suggestion.

Great food, ok service, and great food again. :) For some reason I cut more slack for such a restaurant on atmosphere and service...maybe it's the naan...sooo good. :)

Yet another FinMex restaurant. ..I only venture to these spots when I'm having a brutal craving for texmex...it cures it for quite some time...service is mediocre and atmosphere is pleasant, but food is blase.

Great service and great food. Atmosphere is 'cosy' and you may want to call and check availability as I've been by twice where they were closed for private parties.

This seems to be a popular spot for the locals. ..but the food, imo, is mediocre. Bill was cheap and beer was cold though! :)

Amazing. ..small homey restaurant with amazing food! This is near my gf's apartment so we go here quite frequently for lunch. Always have had amazing food and great service...cheap to boot!!

Koto is one of our favourites to frequent. Great atmosphere, good service (though this seems dependent upon server) and great food.

What to say about Mecca. I ate there for the first time (have been there countless times at the bar) and I have to say I was thoroughly unimpressed. The wine list, while not on par with Via or Foxy, is sufficient. However, the prices of wine were far too high. I will say the saving grace was the Turkish Delight appetizer...very good. The rest of the meals at the table were sub-par. Far too much salt and too expensive for the complexity and quality of the dish.

I've been going here for years. ..I love Mai Thai. My step-mother is Thai and so I consider myself very familiar with Thai food and Mai Thai is one of the best, not only in Helsinki, but that I've had. It's a very small place, so make reservations for sure!
