Delicious food and friendly staff. A wide variety of fish dinners, including a number of shrimp bowls. No view of anything except street traffice, but that's okay. You come here for the food, not the view. Highly recommend for family or couples.

We had a lunch there with our two kids during our eight-day trip to Jordan and I must stay it was an excellent surprise after a week where our meals were almost constituted by Mezze, Mensaf and BBQ.

Service was good but the quality of cooking was less than desired.Prices are high for that area. I had fish and chips. Fish was dried out and chips were stale and appeared to have been twice fried. I will not be visiting again!

We had a lovely evening here. Huge portion sizes... Complete value for money, it has to be said. Loved the Greek salad and their mezze, my friends ate sea food and loved it.

Central location, delicious food but does not serve alcohol. Plenty of choice on the menu and snacks and light meals are available for dinner if you don't fancy a full meal

I was actually a little disappointed with our meal here. The recviews we read stated this place to be amazing. The service wasnt bad and the food was good, but it may have been hyped up a little too much.
