"It is under staffed so service is not ideal. Peruse the food is pretty good and they try hardest to satisfy the customer. Went a few times, possibly the best restaurant in the city"

"Excellent food & wonderful staff Delicious food and a very friendly, professional team. Despite the long queue, we were welcomed with great respect and immediately provided a table, which we truly appreciated. We chose the buffet and it was an excellent decision, a wide selection, great variety, and honestly, almost everything was delicious. We left completely full and very happy. Thank you to the team for the warm service and efficiency, even during such a busy time. The restaurant was very lively and clearly popular, which explains the noise level. At peak hours, it can get quite crowded and loud, but that’s the price of a place people genuinely love. Overall, a very positive experience and definitely recommended. We will gladly come back."

"Honestly the best steak I've had. Service was great, they can speak arabic, turkish, and obviously german but you get 3 full plates of dip and bread and all the meat is halal. The steak was super tender, super juicey, and you can tell they used a good cut. I also got free turkish kofta from the chef, they were delicious too. Left with a happy mood and a full stomach highly recommend this place if you are in Essen"
