One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Madrid! The atmosphere is inviting and pleasant, and the food is absolutely delicious—all at a reasonable price. A great spot for a satisfying meal and a relaxed dining experience.

What an amazing place to eat! The Atmosphere is cool and the staff is also really friendly. Food is delicious and superb. It's definitely not like other expensive restaurants you only get a small amount of food and it is one of the cleanest Halal restaurants in Madrid. I am sure I will be a lifetime customer, because I have nothing negative to say .

Great Syrian food. Orange juice was nice. Did not have the other smoothies when I went for lunch

Nice little restaurant near the plaza. Food was what I would have expected from a set down / fast food hybrid restaurant. The food was more like Turkish food than Syrian food. The name might mislead you a little. Compared to Turkish food I had in Istanbul I would rate it 3 stars for the doner platter and 4 stars for the kebab. Over all I rate the food as 4 stars combined. It’s worth a try if you’re close to the area.

This place is halal. The service was good, but the person was stretched. The prices are good. The food looks good and the menu has more than middle Eastern food. The drinks are standard.

A great Halal Syrian restaurant with a wife variety to select from. I had the mix grill that was nice and tasty. Wide selection of salads, sandwiches, appetisers, and desserts. If you are craving in late hours, this is the place to go.
