Lugar pequeño pero exquisito. Bastante recomendable. Maneja varios menús por día, todos deliciosos. Recomiendo el plato libanés (domingo y jueves); el pan pita y la focaccia (hermana linda de la pizza) excelentes para acompañar la comida. La atención es del mismo nivel del sazón. Bastante recomendable, céntrico y a media calle del Kiosko Morisco.
