We ordered paper dosas . As diabetics, it is the type of food we can eat . We specifically chose the ones made of mainly lentils & a bit of rice for the crispy side . At the end of the meal , our stomachs starting swelling , clear sign that wheat was used . The night was long & extremely uncomfortable. We will never set foot again in that restaurant . The fact that our dishes came as soon as we had finished ordering should have been a warning sign as well as the lack of crispness.Fool me once ...

Yes, suitable for old ppl. No salt, no spices, no taste. I specifically mentioned I need my gobi-65 spicy. Forget about spice, there is no salt & taste. Disappointed..!

Bon sans plus. Le service semble fait seulement par le gérant ce qui complique un peu les choses. Copieux mais peu goûteux. On vous laisse ouvrir votre vin & vous le verser vous-même . Lumière très forte & aucune ambiance possible pour soupe
