A quiet place for spending some time with friends and studying. I like the use of which a refreshing (bonus) My thought is that “The place lacks social presence and exposure, I recommend that the owner take that as a step for his brand/place to give it more shiny spot” I wish them best of luck.

Friendly staff really treating you like you're a friend and they do everything to make u comfortable! The food is really really tasty! And the drinks and appetizers all together are a perfect package... The atmosphere is really great calm and cozy and a beautiful decorated place ... With lots of natural greens Last but not least the price is really affordable I could say it's cheap compared to most of restaurants at erbil ... Edit: lately it's tooo crowded! I'm not recommending it so much really ... One year later: still adore their food ...

Good quality of food, reasonable price. The staff are a bit disrespectful with only gents, when no female gives a company.
