"The best gastronomy I have experienced in Córdoba capital, hands down. There’s a reason there was a line out the door for take away. Get the “picada” or basically the sampler. Comfortable setting for solo eating also."

"We created our own Picadas with “La zete, kepe maqlie, niños envueltos en hoja de parra, hummus, tabula and shawarma”. My favorite was stuffed leaves and the cabbage pickle condiment coming with shawarma. All was tasty, we like the place overall but I wish the minced meat used inside the kepe and ninos envueltos would be cooked better, I don’t know maybe this is their style but it was a bit pinky for me and needed to be cooked more. The staff was very friendly and kind. We recommend them to include “ayran (buttermilk drink)” inside the menu, it will match perfectly with many of their spicy dishes."
