    I visited this restaurant last night and, unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing compared to my previous visit in March. The decline in both service and overall quality was stark and disheartening. To begin with, the service was very underwhelming. The waiter assigned to our table appeared uninterested and inattentive throughout the evening. He was far more engaged and energetic when attending to other tables that seemed to be purchasing more, while he treated us with dismissiveness and at times outright rudeness. This created a very negative impression, as it felt as though the level of service depended on how much one spent, rather than providing consistent hospitality to all customers. The seating arrangement was also mishandled. I had specifically reserved to sit downstairs, yet upon arrival, our table had been given away to other customers. Instead, we were placed upstairs, which proved to be an extremely uncomfortable environment. The music was so loud that I literally had to raise my voice to be heard by my friend, which made conversation unpleasant and tiring. Additionally, the space was cramped — people repeatedly brushed past my chair, forcing me to move it throughout the evening just to avoid constant interruptions. As for the food, it was far below expectations. The quality was disappointing, the preparation unremarkable, and it did not in any way justify the high prices being charged. For the cost, one would expect significantly better standards both in taste and presentation. The only redeeming aspects of the experience were the alcohol and the shisha, which seemed to be the restaurant’s only strengths. Overall, this visit was frustrating and deeply disappointing, particularly given that my experience during a previous visit in March had been so much better with a different waiter. The inconsistency in both service and quality is unacceptable for an establishment positioned at this price point.

    We ordered a bunch of starters that were a bit bland the cheese sauce in the nachos were horrible and the calamari cold. I ordered a cocktail and waited 1 hour. The service is extremely poor and staff members require training on how to address customers more professionally. We were asked to move twice by 2 different staff members after making an actual reservation. Stunning place but the service is horrible.

    Food tasted delicious but feel it could be filled with more meat as we ordered a meat platter. However we enjoyed it. Service was not up to standard we asked our waiter to bring us charcoal for us as the current charcoal was finishing the waiter gave out our ash to the wrong guests and we had to wait for 30 min to get our charcoal and flavor. In terms of our drinks we were over charged for them. Ambience was proper and the music was just on another level.
