Great atmosphere (relaxing & unique) & the food -(lentil soup, tagine, meatballs with dates, chicken & beans served over a bed of couscous) was great. Very friendly wait staff. & the mint tea to finish the meal is almost the best tea I've ever tasted!
Un service plus qu'impeccable avec des détails qui font la différence. la nourriture est tout simplement sublime, l'ambiance est dépaysante & le prix très abordable
Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Nous avons voyager sans changer de pays! On entre dans une famille où l'hospitalité est de mise & où tous le monde est amis.
Une ambiance différente des restaurants traditionnels, un menu simple mais tellement bon & bien présenté & un prix qui vous met un sourire dans votre portefeuille !!!! Une seule critique (constructive); svp laver la vitre de votre vitrine & votre porte d'entrée. On a eu une hésitation a entrer dans le restaurant.
