"Large place. Was nearly empty because we came at low time. Staff attentive. Lamb kebabs were very good with good dressing and kibbeh also good (but my family makes good ones so they have competition). The spinach cheese on flat bread was new to us (can't remember the name...see photo) and out of this world....very very good. Wish they had Lebanese wine but this is Spain after all. Prices were reasonable."
