👍👍 The seafood is very good and tasty. Quite a few choices. Choices do not come with salad and sides come predetermined though you can ask for a change in a couple cases. People often mention service, good, restaurant, lobster, Excellent, pour,

    Delicious food, especially the sea food. I also enjoyed their Lamian noodles, with the pasta hand made in front of you. I recommend

    Surprisingly good food. Acceptable clean. Good air conditioning. Lobster tanks displayed inside so, you pick your own meal. Designed as a underwater world . Good service. Food came pretty fast . Not crowded for lunch when we were there. Only a table was occupied by locals The coffee wasn't as good as the food. The music was ok, not too loud . Expensive. A good option when you are in town.

    Easily the best place to get violently sick from the food. The staff was very attentive as they performed C.P.R. on 88 year old mother who was choking on her vomit. It's as if they were prepared & had practiced this before

    The service was fantastic, they gave us complementary cognac after dinner. Also served complementary bread and appetizers. The prices are reasonable and offered cocktails for around 1500 dfr. Ambiance was nice and you can see the lobster/crab that you order before they cook it. The best restaurant that I have experienced in Djibouti.

    As a local, I only got to visit the place for couple of times. However, the food was very tasty, especially the Crabs. The music was nice, soft and I have enjoyed the environment a lot with my family.

    Excellent food and friendly service. Go for it and get the lobster. It was perfectly cooked and doesn’t require any sauce or butter. Perfectly sweet as is.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad, for an "upscale" restaurant you expect better. Impossible to see the fish or the shrimps which will be served. Servers who do not advise ..... I ate well but must do better (Original) Dommage, pour un restaurant "haut de gamme" on s'attend a mieux. Impossible de voir le poisson ou les crevettes qui vont être servis. Des serveurs qui ne conseillent pas ..... j'ai bien mangé mais doit mieux faire

    Had the Beef La Meruge, beef was tender and seasoned well. I'm not gonna knock the spaghetti because of lack of sauce, seems to be how they do it here. But it was good. Free house shot at the end.
