Best Maghrebian restaurant in Ireland! I’m Tunisian and have been living in Ireland for a while, I’ve tried many Maghrebian restaurants—but this is by far the best. My wife and I had couscous and absolutely loved it. The staff are so friendly as well. Highly recommended

Came here for my birthday party, reserved a table for 8. The food was amazing, everybody loved it! The service was also really good. The herbal tea was presented beautifully , really fragrant and refreshing. They brought out my delicious dessert with a candle on it ❤️
Best restaurant in Mullingar! The food is absolutely sublime. Every dish was cooked to perfection. Congratulations to the chef, and a special thank you to the waitress for the friendly service. We'll definitely be back!
