It’s a full restaurant with many options for vegetarians and meet eaters. The owner of the restaurants is a very nice guy! He will tell you about the family restaurant business and show you photos! He took our order and we had our food within 10 minutes even arriving at 10:30 pm. The place has tables inside and outside. Food is delicious!
