"Restaurante con comida árabe en una zona muy interesante de la ciudad. Al entrar es increíble cómo a pesar de estar en Bilbao, el entorno se vuelve totalmente extranjero. El camarero te atiende en español y te da recomendaciones según lo que busques. Yo elegí un Cous-Cous que parece una cantidad adecuada pero en realidad es bastante. El sabor estaba delicioso pues entre los garbanzos, las verduras y las dulces pasas que le daban un toque juguetón al platillo estaba delicioso. Añado el detalle que te añaden agua sin coste alguno. Respecto al local, cumple su función e incluso hay una básica decoración con cuadros y motivos árabes. El ambiente es totalmente especial pues tienen una televisión donde ponen las noticias de su país y las integraciones entre ellos, siempre que no les entiendas, resultan interesantes. Es un lugar recomendable si buscas romper con el esquema del menú del día y quieres sentirte fuera de Bilbao."
