the location was very good. The non vegetarian option was very nice. We ordered one vegetarian dish served with bulgur recommended by our server, it was very bland and lacked seasoning. The bulgur was nice. The mango smoothie and baba ghanoudj were also very nice.

A bit out of the way if you don't live in Oost but worth the trip, especially in the nice weather when you can sit outside on the water. Really good food and the nicest helpful young men work serving the food. Very good grilled meat and fresh salads. lamb with okra in tomato sauce is delicious. and with the fork discount you can't go wrong.
