"A lot of variety of food. Chicken kebab competitively priced and tastes tender! Delicious and flavorsome! And more importantly, the staff are friendly and considerate. I lost an item because I forgot but they quickly found it and gave it to me, knowing they saw me with the item. Will be coming often!"
