                            Really good food. Music is too louder and e-music sounds “out of context”. Service great and slowfood.

                            We had an amazing meal in Cafe Amaar, the food was fabulous. Our server explained the dishes well but we were still bowled over by the actual flavour. The chef came to our table to further e plain the dishes and it was a lovely end when he provided complementary desserts that were under development and asked for our feedback. Overall a fab night
