We had a reservation for 8 pm but arrived early from the cinema across the street. Staff found us a table within about 5 minutes. Waitstaff was very friendly. The shish kebab was delicious and the fries outstanding. Drinks were generous. The place was crowded and bustling. But amazingly we could actually have a conversation! We’ll definitely go back.
