Atmosphere and interior is amazing. Service is good and the wait for food isn't long. Only came here for a quick lunch with little appetite, but it was definitely worth it! Food was nice, seasoned very well and dishes are authentic. The menu is quite pricey so if you come here make it a big evening meal/late lunch. Seating by the canal outside is lovely in this weather, shisha and tea is also served at the entrance area but there is a shisha-free zone for food. Highly recommend and will be visiting again with an empty stomach!
