We had a large group booking of 16 people last night for a friend’s birthday party. The staff were really accomodating and their service went above and beyond for us. They also sang a birthday song which lightened the mood even more. We all ordered the classic banquet and the food was amazing. The cooks made sure the food was sent out in a timely manner and appropriate time so that the food was able to be enjoyed to it’s fullest. I’d recommend Salma and will be coming again in the future. Thank you to the Salma team for an amazing dinner.
OOOOOOOOOF!!!! Now this is what I call GOOD PRAWN, Salma is doing these crustaceans so much justice with the creamy garlic prawn dish. Not only does the saffron rice it comes with stand on its own, the prawns and sauce are DELIGHTFUL. I’m not even that big a fan of prawns but thought I’d do it because it was a steal ( 21$) and boy am I pleased. Service was fast and food is flavorful and fresh, big compliments to the chef :)).
Love it here especially Shin, Sonu, Phoebe are amazing servers. Good shisha and yummy middle eastern foods.
Four of us went along on a Tuesday night and honestly, the food was brilliant. The lovely gentleman who runs the restaurant has cooked all over the Gulf and Middle East. Excellent food, location and warm, friendly service from the ladies who looked after us. Highly recommend
Absolutely fantastic! The quality exceeded my expectations in every way. The service was fast, friendly, and professional, and the attention to detail really shows. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch quality and great customer service!
