Grilled chicken & vermicelli was phenomenal
Not bad but not the best ether. I’ve received more food and more flavor in other places. Would I try them again maybe. I had the dibi lamb and I had better. The onions and sauce taste made it taste better. I appreciate when it taste good by itself. So I will be trying a different dish if I ever eat there again. But it’s a try.
The price, quality of the food and customer service was great! Large portions for authentic food. The ginger juice also goes crazy!!!
