Went for an early dinner on a Friday night. It was quiet until about 7pm. Service was very good. I ordered the Medi Platter Bowl. The chicken shawarma was dry and cold. The hummus was tasty. My friend got the faroe salmon and she said it was good. I will try it again but order something else.

Also we were seated in front of exit door and it was 10 degrees. We froze every time the door opened. The room seemed very dark. They asked when we were seated if we were attending the show. We said yes. Surprisingly, the service was slow. Due to the noise level, it was difficult to hear the server.
