What people say, in short
Diners widely recommend Maray, a small-plates place that a few diners describe as Middle Eastern or Mediterranean in style. Many diners say the food is good, many say the vegetarian and vegan options are strong, and a few praise the service. A couple of diners single out the disco cauliflower, and two others praise the Sunday roast. One diner describes it as modern fusion rather than a single authentic cuisine, and another says it is not fine dining.
