The show was fantastic—lively traditional music, local instruments, and dancers in authentic clothing made it a truly enjoyable cultural experience. The event lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes, which was the perfect amount of time. The food, however, was disappointing. Appetizers were already on the table when we arrived, and the spreads had developed a skin. The main course included a plain meat patty (not the cheese-stuffed version described online), a chicken breast, cold French fries, and steamed vegetables—all clearly pre-cooked and not freshly made. Go for the atmosphere and entertainment, but don’t expect a fine dining experience."

The food is very nice and the show was very entertaining. The only problem was that the time that was written in viator was 6:30pm and the restaurant showed us that we should come at 8:30pm, we still joined the 6:30pm session
