C'est tellement savoureux & réconfortant ces choix de viandes bien apprêtées & tendres. Ses choix végétariens sont excellents! Cela fait 25 ans que j'y vais!
Nourriture superbe, tout était délicieux! Nous sommes repartis les ventres pleins! Service rapide. Par contre, notre serveur aurait pu être plus chaleureux. Il n'y avait pas non plus de verres à vin, nous buvions dans des verres d'eau. Avoir des verres à vin serait très apprécié. En tout, nous sommes partis satisfaits!

Superbe décor, très belle accueil, la nourriture était excellente. Le prix raisonnable au vu de la quantité & de la qualité des plats. Relativement dépaysant par le concept de manger de manière traditionnelle, juste attention si vous avez des problèmes de dos la position peut être inconfortable au bout d'un moment
Food (Especially the couscous) was delicious. The service was really bad though... We had not even started our desserts & the server already asked us to pay. We felt rushed during the whole dinner.
Le menu du chef était excellent. De la soupe à l'entrée, en passant par le plat principal, tout était excellent. Le service était bon & l'atmosphère était comme si nous étions dans le désert. Bref, je recommande grandement.
