Me pareció bastante rico y contundente con carne, me pedí un sandwich filet mignon y du carne estaba deliciosa, tenía lechuga, tomate y una salga un poco ácida. Volveré con mi esposo.

This place really hits the spot after a 3-hour class. I got the chicken doner sandwich trio with fries, & it was ready in under 10 minutes. The fries were good, & the sauce that came with them was great. Friendly service as well. The fries were probably a bit too heavy for lunch, though, so next time I'd go with the salad instead
