“ Wunderbares syrisches Essen, viele vegane Speisen, ein sehr geschmacksvoll eingerichtetes Restaurant und sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Dieses Restaurant ist für einen Ort wie Porrentruy eine absolute Bereicherung. Die Falafel sind richtig lecker und nicht das, was einem in der Schweiz oft als Falafel aufgetischt wird. ”
“ Belle découverte. L'accueil, le service et la qualité des plats sont juste parfait. Plat de fèves et caviar d'aubergine à tomber sans parler du dessert à la courge et pistache. Recommande absolument! ”
“ Tasteful, kind and above all open when you need it. ”
“ We had dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The meze was made to perfection and our mains were excellent. The chef was on his own so we got a chance to chat with him which we very much enjoyed. The price was on the high end but very much in line with many Swiss restaurants. ”
“ Great staff, friendly and welcoming. Nice Mezze, you should try the Muhammara. They are exceptional. We couldn’t pay by card, but this was no problem. Prices are very good. Looking forward to the next visit. ”
“ Absolutely amazing restaurant. The food, the drinks and the staff belong to the best. They also perfectly hosted a private event for us. Very impressive, a must do in the Jura. ”
