    Overall good. Mousaka can be much more rich in taste, aubergines inside been a bit over burned. It’s overpriced for this quality and taste. But all other food was really good!

    Chicken Souvlaki was sent out really under cooked …. Waiter took it back and they just re-cooked the same one despite half of the first one being spat out where it was raw - didn’t replace it with a fresh one. Tried telling me it was supposed to be pink as it’s thigh meat - I’ve eaten a lot of chicken thighs and there’s a difference between cooked and raw. The waiter then brought the bill over with the dish still on it before finally the manager removed the dish from the bill. Lovely setting though.

    All in all pretty good, was seated at a table which was on a walkway for public. Outside of the restaurants terras. Bit weird. Service was very good. Food was decent but a bit overpriced. 70 Dirham for an appetizer which had 2 little shrimps (from the freezer) cut into even smaller pieces, some seaweed and not even an entire strawberry was way out of proportion. Especially if the salad is massive and was only 45. Weird pricing. Oh well, good to know next time. Main courses where appropriate.

    You should assign 2 waitresses to each area. Instead, we had to deal with four different, either our orders came late or not in order. The food is delicious and worth the money; however, I wouldn't go there at the weekends. Fish of the day, greek salad, roasted potatoes(side) amazing
