I didn’t stay there, was just there for dinner and let me tell you: it was amazing! Fresh fish cooked to perfection, delicious cardamom tea and a nice salad! The atmosphere was breathtaking, there was live music from a very good singer and the service was absolutely friendly. Food arrived 15 min after ordering! I can recommend this restaurant 100%. Thank you for the nice dining experience!
