Mitara Cafe & Art

Art cafe

👍👍 Before I went there, I wondered why the score was so high. But after I spent an afternoon there, now I know the reasons. The cafe made you easily feel home. And you forgot about time at home. The food and coffee were great. Last but not the least, Nazan, the cafe’s owner, is just an amazing person....

Diva Kebab Fish Restuarant

Barbecue restaurant

🫤 Doesn’t justify 4.6 rating on google map. There was hardly any beef in the beef stew. Taste of the fish was okay. Overpriced probably because of the location.
