It used to be a nice place, but that is no longer the case.
Booking issue:
1. We wanted to book a table, and the lady said she would call back in 2 minutes to confirm. After 15 minutes, there was still no call.
First order:
2. We asked for 2 bottles of water, but they delivered only one. A different waiter came and confirmed that only one bottle was on their order.
3. We ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail, but we received one with alcohol. At that moment, we realized that communication with the initial waiter was difficult. Had we known that earlier, we would have spoken in English. However, tea was complimentary, which was a nice gesture.
Food:
4. I ordered pickles, and when they were delivered, the waiter dropped them on the table in front of me. The waiter apologized and cleaned up by picking them up one by one with his hand. He then brought us a new bowl of pickles.
5. We ordered 3 hummus but received only 2. We didn’t want to wait, so we moved on to the last course.
6. One of our companions received French fries with a long hair on top. We informed the staff, and they replaced the plate. That was a tough one.
7. Another person ordered a meal but received something else after a long wait. She didn’t ask for a replacement. It was too late.
The check:
8. We checked the bill and saw that they had charged for 3 hummus, even though we had only received 2. When we explained the mistake, the waitress tried to contradict us, insisting that all 3 had been delivered. At that point, quite annoyed, I asked her if she believed I was lying to pay for less than what we had received. She then walked away to correct the bill. Despite everything, we still left a tip.
The food was okayish. The bulgur was somewhat tasteless. The pita seemed old and reheated. The rest of the food was average.
Parking:
9. The last issue occurred in the parking lot, where my car was blocked by another vehicle. When I asked the waiters for assistance, I was directed to "the guy in the white shirt at the bar." It turned out that someone from the restaurant was the one who had blocked my car.
Price:
Total price: 1,368 lei + 10% tip for 8 people. Water was by far the most expensive item—5 x 1L bottles cost over 100 lei.
Service was rather poor, handled by different people, increasing the risk of mistakes.
Atmosphere:
10. The music was loud. Although they offered to lower the volume, it was still impossible to hear someone two seats away unless they yelled.
Overall: Bad experience. I regret coming. I won’t return. Too many issues (10 issues, not just one or two)
