The cauliflower frito and focaccia bruschetta were full of flavour, and the croquettes and asparagus stew were delicious. The calamarata al forno and lahmacun pizzette were rich and perfectly seasoned, and the spiced fries were a great side. I finished with the pistachio ice cream with white coffee and cardamom foam.
Fun fact
There’s something interesting to note about their restroom setup, a little unusual in a charming way: the restaurant has two toilets located together inside a single room.
