1h50 pour un dîner en semaine, c'est beaucoup trop long. Nous avons reçu notre repas 1h00 après avoir commandé. J'ai tout de même apprécié mon plat qui contenait du cactus, c'était très bon.

Première & dernière expérience à ce restaurant. J'ai y été dans le but affaires, mais je n'ai pas du tout aimé notre service. 2 sur 3 personnes ont reçus leur plats & ensuite les presque 1 heure d'attente. J'ai posé la question combien de temps & on m'a simplement d'attendre, c'est l'heure du dîner. Nourriture très ordinaire, portions beaucoup trop petite. Je ne suis aucunement rassasié & beaucoup trop cher. Je ne recommande pas

Food's really good. Loved the concept of letting them decide what we get. Only wish it was halal - plenty of veggies though.
