    The environment was pleasant. The tables and cutlery need to be properly cleaned. There was dust and food on them. As well as the food was decent, but I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache. Has never happened to me before, which I found weird.
    Anchor & OreResponded on 31 March 2025
    Hello Shatha, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that you found our tables and cutlery not properly cleaned, and you woke up with a bad stomach ache the next day. Providing clean cutlery and tables is our quality standard that we ensure everyday, but we understand that we missed the mark during your visit. We can assure you that our Kitchen staff focuses on providing healthy, safe and delicious food every single day. We strive to provide the highest level of hospitality as it is our number one priority and we understand that it failed to meet your expectations. Your feedback will be used as a training tool for our Operations team to ensure such negative experiences from occurring in the future.
