Das Essen ist sehr lecker und hat hervorragend geschmeckt! Die Gerichte sind frisch zubereitet und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Es gibt ausreichend Parkplätze direkt vor dem Restaurant, was sehr praktisch ist. Besonders positiv hervorzuheben sind die freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Mitarbeiter – man fühlt sich hier wirklich willkommen. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Waren heute zum ersten Mal dort und positiv überrascht. Uns schmeckte es sehr gut, es könnte aber gerne etwas mehr Sauce bei den Chivapcici dabei sein. Die Stühle waren aus Stoff und leider etwas dreckig. Wir kommen trotzdem wieder.
