- victoria trueApril 19, 2016Everything is delicious. The building is gorgeous. The mood is vibrant and the dancing and singing pushes it over the top.

- AlexApril 2, 2019All time classic, good food, great beer, OKish service, interesting ambiance and great location close to all the Old City bars

- Laura BurlacuJanuary 20, 2015Delicious on so many levels, great atmosphere to go with the food and competent staff.
- Michael BrazitikosJanuary 30, 2017Looks traditional, right in the middle of the old city. Food is of medium quality and expensive. It's definately a tourist spot. Best option is to visit it just for coffee.
- NesJanuary 24, 2018Come here to have a beer and watch the shows. The food has nothing special. The famous dessert Papanaşi is worth trying
- Harry RobertsSeptember 30, 2014Great, traditional Romanian food. Fascinating building, great vibe. The service is good, but it gets very busy; expect a short wait.
- Dmitry MatveevSeptember 7, 2014Foods are good. Portions are great. But we saw like all waiters made fake beer foam to all sort of non-bottle beer. It's a pity.
