We had dinner here on our last night in Paris. Definitely a great way to cap off our trip! My sister had a mixed skewer plate, I had a vegetarian stuffed eggplant plate, and we shared an amazing dessert and cups of tea. The staff were friendly and helpful, which just made the experience that much better. Highly recommended!

You know you are in an authentic kabab restaurant when you see a cat strolling around the tables! The food was delicious, service was great but not pushy at all. Everything is there to warm a traveler’s tired body and soul. I wish we could come back during our trip but didn’t get a chance to do so.

We had dinner today because it was close to our hotel, and we were very surprised. We ordered a hummus as a starter that was nothing exceptional, but good. As for the main dishes, we ordered a kebab, note 8, and a kofta note 10. The side dishes are very well done, with hot bun, and to surprise us a very nice cat named Léo. I recommend everyone to be close to the place, I would come back if I were passing through.
