We had dinner here and it was such a lovely experience! The food was delicious and authentic, and the place has a warm, cozy atmosphere. The owner is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about his guests — he made us feel right at home. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Brighton. Highly recommended!
