"Very good restaurant!
We came to celebrate birthday for a family member.
We recieved few combined tables in the patio of the restaurant.
The food was delicious, we had some gluten free options (sadly most of them not vegan).
The restaurant located in the middle of Ahuza neighborhood near the Khorev Center, on the top of Haifa.
The closest parking to the restaurant was at the Khorev Center which is 5 minutes walk from the restaurant, there are few parking spots near the restaurant but the are full most of the time.
The dishes were very tasty (not kosher in case you wondered),the food got inspired from the Mediterranean and North African kitchen.
The price was a average, paid around 1600 ils for 7 people.
The clientele were groups of friends, families, business partners (I suppose...) as the restaurant is well designed.
The atmosphere was happy, a bit noisy ,the music was greece style.
The service was excellent,the waiter took an order from each one of us and took notes about the allergies of the members to try to change the dishes if possible.
I think the things that annoyed me was the loud music and the lack of parking.
In overall the restaurant is very good.
Recommended."
