Fantastic, unique experience.
Went there as a walk-in on Friday, and was highly impressed. I enjoyed every single thing I ordered. My only compliant is I wasn't able to order what I wanted, which was the Berebere Chicken, but the kabobs were phenomenal just the same. 10 out of 10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!👍
