Nadir was very hospitable and friendly . He arranged everything to be gluten free.

overall a very poor experience. i immediately felt uncomfortable, but stayed because my parents were recommended this place and were excited to try it. we were at the big table near the entrance, which had right-wing propaganda on it. in fact, there was propaganda all over the place (very extremist too, not subtle at all). i understand freedom of speech and all that, but it was just very uncomfortable. there were many signs that were pro-trump, or just generally xenophobic (speak english, etc). not only that, but the food wasn’t very good either. we waited ages to get our food and drinks (which were just beer and soda, nothing fancy). It was also a bit grimy, and my plate and utensils had old food caked on them. as someone with a dietary restriction (celiac), i’m usually pretty understanding about kitchen difficulties, but between the grime and the waiter’s lack of knowledge on the food served, i felt very unsafe eating there. despite this, i ate the one gluten free dish they offered, which didn’t taste too good, and later made me sick (which i’ll take responsibility for, i felt like it would and i ate it anyways). out of the seven dishes at our table (five personal, two shared) the overall consensus was that only the lemon pesto spaghetti was good. after reading the reviews, it seems like this is the place to be if you are a very patient right-wing american without concern for the cleanliness of the kitchen. if you read the other negative reviews, you can find some hilariously rude responses from the owner. i’m rarely one to write reviews, but we were totally blindsided coming in, and it made for an uncomfortable experience for sure.
