It's very good restaurant with tasty food. There's a big hall which is separated into several different areas so you can find a lot of cozy seats there. They don't sell alcohol but grilled meat is awesome! I recommend everyone to try this place.

The food was so filling . Service was amazing but there was so many hidden charges. Low-key felt taken advantage of. Beautiful atmosphere. Nice place to chill and have non alcoholic conversations
