• "Just been to dawat now first of all they weren’t even that busy. The staff look at you but ignore you they chat between themselves than we finally get a table they don’t come to get your order and when they do first he doesn’t understand than we finally managed to order the food comes it’s different each time the potions we’re so less than last time."

His service was atrocious and it felt almost discrimination because we had inferential treatment as we were all girls at the table."
• "Nice place to eat out. However when we went there we were asked a couple of times to keep moving so they could accommodate other people."
