“ Muy buen restaurante con excelente trato al cliente. La comida estaba buenisima y en todo momento han estado pendientes de que no nos falte de nada. 10/10 ”
“ Deux gérants sympathiques, une salle agréable et surtout de la bonne cuisine. Les plats sont généreux et délicieux, il faut continuer comme ça... ”
“ Buenos platos aunque quizás pecan un poco, o al menos los que nosotros elegimos, de estar un poco occidentalizados. Pollo y cordero muy bueno. Nos falta probar los platos de langostinos que ya pediremos para casa (tienen servicio de recogida y de delivery). ”
“ The flavours in each dish were perfectly balanced, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and the food was mouthwatering delicious. I was savouring every bite. As a Nepali, I ate Momo every day during my stay in Bilbao. This place is a must-try! It was a delightful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!!! ”
“ This. Place. Is. Bangin. The service was so attentive and really kind, and quite good at English which really helped our poor Spanish. The food matched. The recommended tandoori was a massive portion that came out sizzling on a platter with a ton of vegetables. The meat was tender, the spices were perfect, and the sauces on the side would make even dirt taste good. The momo dumplings were so full and plump and the wrapper wasn’t gummy at all. The chicken and madras was the best curry we have had. Spanish food is great and all, but this place is a must have if you are in Bilbao, and with the ease of public transport you have to add this place to your list. ”
“ Fantastic atmosphere with delicious meals that exceeded expectations. The ingredients tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the staff went above and beyond. Highly recommend this place for both casual dining and special occasions. ”
