The food was some of the best I have eaten, and as Rafik knew a lot of the shop owners etc they gave us some interesting additional history about some of the traditions. O Would definitely recommend, only ranking 4 instead of 5 stars as we were picked up around 25 minutes later than expected and werent able to get hold of them, after that everything ran smoothly.”
