Customer reviews reflect a shared ethos of satisfaction and comfort. Mi Ksal remarked, “It feels as though I’ve come into a friend’s home rather than a cafe. Very cozy and homely.” Others like Daulet Baiev were thoroughly impressed with the quality of both food and service, even specifically noting the comfortable setting suitable for prayers — a thoughtful addition that resonates with many guests.
