“ I liked that there are lots of seating places also you can seat next to the window. It’s not narrow or packed place, so can enjoy food in clean area. Chicken was not spicy and good, especially I like a bread. Bread was so nice and it was chewy. Location is so good and good menu. ”

“ Service was a little slow. But the food was hot and tasted fresh and delicious. Ordered classic egg mutabbaq and Nutella mutabbaq for my little boy just before iftar. Tempted to try the chicken with potato dish and the liver. Will surely go back again. ”
“ I tried 1- Masoob with cream - (made with banana, bread, sugar + cream) surprising I like the taste, not overly sweet with good bite texture. However next round I will opt without the cream. 2- ginger tea with milk - not recommended as can't taste the ginger. 3- spicy mutabag- similar with roti canai (for M'sian) with green vegetable inside. Average taste, not recommended. ”
