It was our 1st time at this restaurant, and we were really impressed with both the food and the customer service. The owner personally served us and took the time to recommend their vegetarian specialties, that we truly appreciated.
We were also excited to learn that they offer catering and even cook live at your events - even as far as imperial valley! With such delicious food and excellent customer service, you will do great. Good luck guys.
