I travel often. Do not listen to the few bad reviews. This place is very good. Down the street are aggressive men who are hired to con tourist into the restaurants, and stand outside giving an impression of “action.” This place is owned by a single woman who is very kind.

Never again.... the whole family had food poisoning. You're better off having street foods which will be...

He agreed but then took our phone and never charged it. he simply put it on a table (far from our sight) without saying a word. When we realise it we asked once again if we could charge it and he says no. Please notice that the bar was completely empty and that the only reason why we stopped was because he agreed in the first place. Also the woman who we believe to be the owner was not friendly at all from the very beginning. Stay away...
