This is amazing, as it shows how much quality matters to the owners of this place. Of course, the staff is happy to bring you down any item you like. The staff is very knowledgeable and were able to answer all my questions. Upon my request, they also gave me genuine recommendation on which types of Japanese fish to buy that are most suitable for grill. They also deliver within Dubai...
