“ One of the best of Cartagena!!! Absolutely delicious food - Beautiful venue Think of this as a 5 in 1 restaurant. It’s literally five restaurants combine into one. It doesn’t matter if you’re are vegan or carnivore this will be good for you. At night they have live music. I don’t know often they change is but we had a violinist this night. Which was very fun actually! They have a fully Arabic menu which my vegan sister was enjoying very much. The prices of all five menus ranged from very cheap to expensive. It doesn’t matter what’s your budget you’ll find a great affordable plate. We went during COVID-19 and it was very safe actually. They took all the right procedures to make sure one is safe. We enjoyed very much this restaurant and would recommend to anyone. ”
“ The food is good and delicious, the music a bit on the noisy and dance like, but overall an interesting experience. That have Arabic & Mediterranean style dishes, at well as some more local fare and grilled meats. The falafel plate I got was satisfying. ”
“ We have had four excellent meals here, we wound up eating there everyday. The portions large, prices good, food very good and service excellent. We do not speak Spanish and I have food allergies, used Google translate first day, second day our same waiter, Edwin who is great, remembered everything, we just ordered and he customized to make sure no allergies. Highly recommend. Very local place. Ask for Edwin, he is very laid back, very professional. ”
“ I visited this restaurant for my birthday and it exceeded my expectations. The food was 5/5, service 5/5, and atmosphere 5/5. The building appeared to be a bit confusing at first, as there appeared to be two or three restaurants inside one building. The restaurant was more upscale than I imagined, as we were dressed very casual. The waiter was extremely nice and helpful and even brought me a dessert and sang happy birthday to me. The pictures online captivated me and drew me to this restaurant, and the food did not disappoint, if you have a chance, do yourself a favor and visit! ”
“ Great place, one English speaking waiter made our day here, thank you so much! ”
“ I wasn’t impressed with the appetizers (babaganush and Tabouli salad) but the mixed meat dish and almond rice were amazing! We also had some chocolate sphere for dessert which was also excellent. All topped off with great service. Will definitely visit again. ”
“ A rare gem tucked away in Cartagena. I’ve had a lot of hummus in my time, but nothing as rich, smooth, and flavorful as this—it honestly redefined the bar. The fatoush salad was generous, crisp, and fresh. I had the lomo shawarma, and the beef was perfectly tender, wrapped in warm spice and balanced beautifully by a legit garlic sauce that nailed it. The setting? Surprisingly classy, with just the right atmosphere to linger over your plate. Absolutely a spot I’d come back to—again and again. ”
