I got the prawns over couscous, salad, and hibiscus drink. The food was made to order and super fresh. The chef was timely, attentive, and had a great sense of urgency. He made the food in minutes. It was so flavorful. I was so impressed with everything I ate. The portions were also really generous. This was a great escape from pricy, hyped up, city eateries. It’s truly a gem and an A1 establishment."
