Last night, some of us went here. It was my first time. Unsurprisingly, everyone else had been here at least several times. I’d been inside before, to see the decorating - I was shown by the guy who decorated the stage area and where we sat last night. I was told that the food was average, but I didn’t have any complaints. I don’t know how anyone could screw up kibbe sharjia and kabab halabi, though. At least not here. In the States, sure.

They had entertainment last night. Sadly, not the Darweesh (which I’ve been told only gig during Ramadan - sadly, I was told that afterwards). Last night, it was just some guy singing with his backup band of one. We didn’t stay too long because someone fell ill, but it was still enjoyable. Considering that that may well have been my last restaurant experience in Aleppo (I don’t count Arabica or al-Attar), it was happiness.
