I had an amazing dinner experience with my friends. Our server, Yasin, was incredibly helpful and friendly as we tried to figure out what to eat! We started with a few appetizers and drinks before the main feast, and everything was absolutely delicious. Yasin frequently checked on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and asked if we needed anything. It's a 10 outta 10! Can't wait to go there again.
