Best Arabic cuisine in town ! Try the hummus , briyani rice , fatush salad ... You can't go wrong whatever you choose. The atmosphere might look strange at first but Freddie is extremely nice and friendly

Violeta Ivanova

Interesting experience! No menu and the place is self service (help yourself to beers in the fridge ). An excellent arabic food, cooked in a home made style. The owner Freddy is an incredible person.

Andrew

Great home made Iraqi food . The owner and chef Freddy makes you feel at home the moment you step in. Everything is truly delicious

Dan Millard

Go for the food. Beware it is a unique (strange!) experience. There is no menu, but everything you get is awesome and you'll leave satisfied!
