Beautiful experience all the way, food is excellent and portions are huge. Saif, our waiter was very attentive from the moment we stepped in, we totally recommend this restaurant. Bonus, they serve food until very late, we arrived at 23:30 and had a full service and did not feel rushed. 5 stars for everything🥰
