Description

Meals here are anchored by traditional sides like savory tagines, fresh pita, and dips like baba ghanoush and eggplant-tomato spread. While the seafood selection is highly regarded, some visitors note a confusing ordering process and lack of transparent pricing when buying by the pound. Once navigating the counter, you can expect well-seasoned fried calamari, tender grilled octopus, and fried sardines. For a classic baked option, choose the singary-style preparation topped with tomato and onion.
