"Family place, busy and loud, but the food is amazing. It is my favourite place when I'm in the city to have a great filling meal with a lot of variety. It is not cheap though, but the staff is great, they scratch some english which is great for foreigners. Saw bad reviews about their delivery, but it doesn't reflect on the local service. Definitely a place to have lunch or dine in if you're very hungry."

A decoração parece parada nos anos 90, com as mesmas mesas de madeira e quadros de flores. Os garçons também são os mesmos (até o dono vai servir você) e circulam incessantemente pelas mesas oferecendo espetos de carne e mais carne e mais carne até você não ter mais condições nem para responder. Também vêm à mesa cebolinha de conserva, alface, maionese, arroz e uma polentinha frita deliciosa.
