The food is freshly made and truely delicious. The little longer waiting time is very much worth it. The menu offers an enormous variety. The service is very kind and honest. We only got charged for the water bottles that we actually opened. There’s a children’s playground next door and a nice outdoor sitting area away from the road.

This place was such a hidden gem. The food is amazing, the staff was really helpful and friendly, smiling all the time, very professional. They also gave us a piece of cake as a compliment when they knew we were celebrating our engagement , which was very wholesome. Thank you so much for being such a beautiful place, the first and not the last visit.
