Es un lugar que tiene años de tradición. Fue la primera opción de comida árabe que conocí hace muchos años, pero hasta el día de ayer regresé para hacer una reseña. La atención es muy buena, te ayudan a saber qué pedir y siempre están atentos a ti. La comida es emmuy buena, pues tienen gran experiencia y las bebidas sin alcohol muy ricas. Falta probar su coctelería. En general muy recomendable 🙂
