I’ve been here 3 times already. It’s the best Arabic restaurant in Budapest. The food, service and drinks are amazing. Perfect for every occasion. Nour, Lonay and István is very kind:)
Veryyyy nice place. Chicken shawarma was delicious but makes you full quickly. Fries were very dry on the inside.. didn't finish. The shisha selection was also good, but I believe it has nicotine(?) Nice place! And sweet staff!
Food was amazing and extremely delicious. We love Lebanese food! It was extremely well prepared and portions were big also. We also got some free starters on the house. Restaurant is in the peaceful street with lots of trees.
A fantastic find in the centre of Budapest. The food was very good. We were here with a family of 7 adults. Ordered shish taouk, kofta, humus, lamb shoulder, cheese sambuca, chicken shawarma and lots of drinks. The best dish we had was a surprise. Chicken soup which I forgot to take a picture. I really can’t recommend the soup enough. We all loved it. Toilets were were nice and clean. Just to note there is a great chimney cake shop 2 min walk from this restaurant.
Hey guys am back again today am in Budapest another found of a beautiful halal restaurant in the heart of Budapest, staff are very welcoming and the restaurant look very beautiful and Moroccan.. we started off with nice mock tails, all the pictures would be attached below. For main we ordered 3 different types off meals to start with, chicken Tajine, chicken Sharma, lamb chops with chips, the Tajine was very nice we enjoyed it with bread and rice 8/10 that. Chops was nice and tender we couldn't eat everything, because it was too much but definitely nice... we felt that the price was a little bit expensive for everything we paid 28,590,00HUF but in pounds that's 60£. Definitely would recommend.. the whole experience I would give it 7/10.
