Sweet staff . Terrible racist management. Black people beware!!!
Pros:

The ambiance and food were nice. The location is also close to lots of things and cleaning was done daily.

Cons:

The managers are extremely rude and racist. They are middle eastern people and treat their staff as if they are beneath them although they are in their country. Its very distasteful and disturbing. One night they were very rude to us and discriminatory towards me and my husband because we paid cash and made many excuses to not take it and giving the impression it was fake. I pulled out another bill and handed it to them and Then they didn’t even have change for our very real money. What a joke. There were lots of racial undertones there and so sad that the staff is so sweet and have to deal with such terrible people and their disgusting behavior. Yelling at them and talking to them with no respect. And wouldn’t even look them in the eye when they are speaking to them. Its ugly and should be dealt with. I would never spend a dollar there again.
