The newly opened restaurant offers a very comfortable and welcoming environment, with two floors of well-designed seating. It’s a great spot for casual get-togethers with friends or relaxed family dinners. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of flavor, and very satisfying. The lamb is especially tender and flavorful, and the flatbread is absolutely delicious — crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. A wonderful dining experience overall!
