    The dish I wanted to eat delivered on it's promises, and I was very happy about that as there aren't many restaurants that even serve Hunkar Begendi. They gave my friend a flan-like dessert for her birthday, which was a great surprise. The piano was a nice touch for ambiance, but a little loud for those sensitive to noise, but they will play happy birthday for you to sing to your loved ones. Al fresco dining is available, which should absolutely be utilized in nicer weather than we had.
