This is a non-assuming place. Frequented by locals. Now it has caught on with tourists. If you are out and about near Mega you have to stop here and eat.

A lovely place for eating out. They specialize in home made bread and pastries. Desserts are wonderful too. More of a breakfast place I would say.

This place is a bit expensive for what you get. It’s quite good most of the time though. Many nights they have good live music. That’s a half hearted recommendation for you. Haha! It is nice and relaxing and close by. Sometimes that’s all you want.

We’ve only eaten here twice so far. But it’s really good and relatively inexpensive. It’s also close by. If you like mid-Eastern food I think you will like it here. We can’t wait to go back.

A nice place to go after dinner. A tad expensive but worth it. We really like the flavours and the toppings. Really filling too.

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Waiters with drinks on their heads! We love their mudslides. Reasonably priced and good variety of Mexican food. Quite a long way from the complex but we think it’s worth the taxi drive or the long walk on 5th Ave on a beautiful night.

A place that has become popular with locals. Very basic. Don’t expect fancy food here. If you love sea food at a fair price, this is the place for you. Cocktail drinks aren’t that great. Haha! But you can’t screw up a cold beer, right?
