Of the limited number of restaurants in Havana specialising in Middle Eastern cuisine, this is probably the most famous. Although the menu is limited, the main courses and side dishes are all prepared quite traditionally, and prices are relatively low. The walls of the inner dining room are bare except for their lamps; and in general, the decoration of the whole establishment is simple, and generally makes use of the building's features such as arches, the wood of the passageways and the roof. Even though surroundings are somewhat dilapidated, the atmosphere of the inner courtyard, with its plants, birdcages and rugs, is quite pleasant. At the entrance door, a porter in traditional costume conducts diners into the restaurant. Most of the dishes are based on chicken, beef, fish and seafood, and there are popular plates such as Tadjin and Houmous.
