  One of the best restaurants I have been to, we ordered 4 different meals and every single one was amazing. Ambient 10/10, waiters 10/10, food 10/10

The restaurant is excellently carved into the old wall that once protected the city from invasion. The restaurant is hard to find. The closest Uber could get us was a five minute walk down a poorly lit street. Our hotel had told us not to fear the dark street. It’s worth a trek.
