I mean, in these restaurants the service depends on the character of a person who serves you. I was served by a kind soul, a soft spoken calm man named Ancent. It felt like a personalized service - everything on point. This was after I was greeted by nonchalant ladies who were in their gossip corner, not really paying attention to customers. Ancent saved the day. The food tasted really good and fresh. It was my first time to try camel milk tea (with masala), loved it! I must say I enjoyed my food and experience here.

Good food, worth the price. Good space Friendly staff..but some of them are impatient. Parking is along the streets so you might have e to sort yourself on this one. No reservations required but the place gets full especially during lunch time or evening hours

We've been there twice now, and the food is delicious and the portions are generous. The staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend it for any meal of the day.

A super fun and cozy local restaurant with a great vibe! The staff are really friendly and happily recommend their special dishes. We ordered a mixed platter with different items, and honestly, every single one was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and I’d definitely recommend it. If you’re not sure what to order, just ask them for suggestions. Their fresh juices are also amazing and a perfect addition to the meal. Alcohol doesn’t served.
