Everything was great but coming to a restaurant where threres a lot of available seats and to be sat near the window and it’s freezing outside wasn’t ideal but I didn’t argue. That was my only takeaway. Besides that the food was good, the drinks were ok, as was the hookah. Ambiance and music was great.
