"Sitio muy concurrido y agradable en la misma Plaza del Rey. Los camareros súper amables, nos recomendaron y orientaron. La carta es amplia y variada, con platos fuera de carta anunciados en las pizarras interiores. Pedimos unas tapas para compartir. La tapa estrella era el POLLO AL CURRY y desde luego lo recomiendo. Me pareció delicioso y muy diferente a lo que te esperas: cremoso y con espaguetis. El cazón en adobo también excelente. El precio es un poco más elevado que en bares de la zona y las cantidades son algo justas. No le doy 5 estrellas porque todo el restaurante estaba llenos de niños corriendo por todas partes mientas que los padres disfrutaban tranquilos de su comida y nos fastidiaban al resto, sin que los camareros les llamaran la atención. Supongo que habrá sido circunstancial, pero nos estropearon la experiencia. Salvo por ese detalle, el local merece la pena."
