They were very gracious and quick. They seated us promptly and always kept our drinks refilled. I had the chicken tajine, a very popular dish, and it just was not for me. What I received was basically just boiled, unseasoned, chicken. After a few bites, I asked to send it back and get something else. The manager/owner came out and was very polite. I then had the chicken Pitza which I also did not enjoy. Sadly, I will not be returning.
