Yesterday I dined at Huncho House and it was an AMAZING experience. You are greeted with a glass of champagne. The hostess were all very warm and polite. The food and drinks were anazing as well. I will definitely be back and will share my experience with others. Our waiter was Josiah and that young man was on his job! He gave us meal suggestions and was extremely attentive to us.

Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
