“The food is warm & delicious, feels as if you were eating homemade food from your grandma. Be sure to save room for the Halva Ice Cream and pair it with their real 100% Puerto Rican specialty coffee which you can only find in this location. Owner is great and present at the store.”
“Really nice spot doing authentic Uzbek dishes. Delicious food, laidback vibe, the perfect way to indulge after a nice beach session. The vegetarian dumplings were the standout dish for me. The noodles were also delicious.”
