Je suis allé à ce restaurant pour un anniversaire, nous étions un groupe de 20 personnes & avons été très bien reçus Quand on y entre, on enlève nos chaussures, & on prend place assis sur un petit banc sur des tables basses. Le serveur & cuisinier, Tommy, vient nous voir & nous explique le fonctionnement du restaurant: C'est un menu fixe de plats végétariens ou de viande à partager qui sont tous plus delicieux les uns que les autres. On commence avec un hummus, ensuite un plat principal puis un dessert & un excellent thé marocain qui est servi de manière traditionnelle! Je recommande surtout pour le service & la qualité des plats! Demandez Tommy pour une super expérience.
Food was delicious+ it's a set menu for 30$ each that the cooks does & changes ! Loved that I didn't have to choose & could just enjoy the experience. The cook comes & presents as well what he has prepared for that day! Very lovely would recommend
L'endroit est très joliment décoré, & le chef est très accueillant. Nous étions une tablée de 16 personnes, pas de choix de menu, mais le chef nous a concocté 3 gros plats avec différentes saveurs pour goûter. Nous avons mangé copieusement, tout le monde était très satisfait du choix de restaurant. Je recommande cette adresse. :)
Really recommended, I have gone several times I always finished happy, the food is super good, the atmosphere is warm & cozy, very nice to share with a big group of friends
Très bon endroit, typique & l'idée du menu unique rend la chose encore plus sympa. Cadre très chaleureux avec un repas assis par terre, pieds nus. Je recommande! (Restaurant apportez votre vin)
