Velian S. • November 16, 2012Another authentic place in Sofia downtown where you can enjoy good beer and the modest company of Sofia' s finest intellectuals. The real one, not the young and fake posers.

A.N • October 27, 2015Nice place in terms of authentic Turkish atmosphere, however slightly pricey and not very good in the food representation. Overall is fine.

Денис Г. • June 13, 2019Very good authentic place. The staff speaks English and that is a good option for Sofia. Take small meat plate for 3-4 people. My choice- red peppers with cheese

Andre-Louis M. • January 22, 2017Place is located in the back of a small street, not authentic and expensive beyond oblivion. Food and serving are good, but definitely not worth the money. They need to revise their pricing policy.

Teya D. • February 16, 2016Far from authentic, poor menu, unfriendly staff. Smoking is allowed!!! A truly unpleasant place.
