They served me a free traditional lentil soup after my hard working day for completely free without even asking them.
The man at the cashier is very kind, one time it was almost going to close & one of their cooks gave me his own dinner kebab because he couldn't cook anymore.
This is really an amazing place to eat in the meat is delicious 10/10
