They just opened recently and I hope and wish them the best as well as something that I wanted to mention out of an experience. The customer service is a great sometimes the food is not as fresh. The Yemeni food usually is freshly cooked is not from the morning until night, is not from the day before. Freshly cooked all Yemenis. Restaurant no one for that freshly cooked I hope to see changes and thank you for understanding,, by the way, this was a great Salta with freshly oven bread and some of Aiden tea - Ahmed Almontaser
