We spent quite long time looking for a place in the west, glad we found one! The shisha is amazing, service is exceptional, very kind and nice staff, the food is the best, literally the best mixed grill I’ve ever tried, and everything gets served really fast despite having so many customers. And finally, good vibe and good music
