    The restaurant has a vibrant atmosphere, and the food was full of bold flavours. However, I did find the gluten-free options a bit repetitive—the first two courses were both chips, which felt like a missed opportunity for more variety. That being said, the main course was absolutely amazing—well-cooked, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were delicious, though a bit on the pricey side compared to regular restaurants. Still, they were well-crafted and worth indulging in!

    Exciting concept (authentic cuisine, tasteful ambience and attractive music programme). But our highlight was the service provided by the charming and competent staff!

    The service was good and I enjoyed the time. I wouldn't say that the food was exceptional, I found it regular, maybe because l am used to this cuisine, coz it's similar to arabic. But it was well prepared. For1 person this set is really big, i didn't eat even half. Pity to through it.
