At 9pm the restaurant was empty and no staff spoke English but they made a real effort to make us welcome and helped us chose food from some of the tripadvisor photos. We had 2x Tagine, which was tasty with good portion sizes.

Sin embargo, lo peor es en relación al resto de platos que sí tenían: raciones muy escasas (no recomiendo ir con hambre y algunas bastante quemadas (ver foto del pollo a la miel, que para nada recomiendo . Nos lo acabamos comiendo (después de haber quitado todo lo calcinado porque teníamos hambre (fuimos a comer y las raciones no dan para nada y por no esperar otro buen rato a que nos trajeran otro (presumiblemente igual de quemado En cuanto al local: es pequeño y el mobiliario bastante incómodo (la mayoría de las mesas no son aptas para gente medianamente alta . Bastante incómodo para grupos grandes. La comida bastante simple (de verdad que hay mejores sitios para comer este tipo de comida en donde la hacen mucho mejor Afortunadamente tenemos esta herramienta para puntuar y describir al local que puede servir de ayuda a futuros posibles comensales: Comida: regular (muy sin más todo . Variedad en la carta: poca. Disponibilidad de platos: mínima (al menos un domingo en el primer turno de comidas… . Local: pequeño y con mobiliario incómodo. Servicio: regular. Relación calidad/precio: baja (caro para lo que es . Espero que esto sirva para advertir a futuros posibles clientes y para que en el local hagan un poco de autocrítica, que no viene mal, en vez de despachar los prepotentes testamentos que dejan como respuesta a las críticas mínimamente negativas que reciben (que vimos antes de ir mientras leíamos opiniones pero que pensamos que serían sólo casos aislados . Creo que la gente que le da 5 puntos probó un restaurante distinto al que fuimos. No volveremos. On a Sunday, the first shift of the day (at noon you can book at 14:00h, 15:00h or 15:30h we were the second table (i.e. the second table of the day and there were already quite a few dishes missing (what hurt us most was the lack of baklava . However, the worst thing is in relation to the rest of the dishes they did have: very scarce portions (I don't recommend going hungry and some quite burnt (see photo of the honey chicken, which I don't recommend at all . We ended up eating it (after having removed all the burnt food because we were hungry (we went to eat and the portions were not enough and for not waiting another long time for them to bring us another one (presumably just as burnt . As for the place: it is small and the furniture is quite uncomfortable (most of the tables are not suitable for moderately tall people . Quite uncomfortable for large groups. The food is quite simple (there are really better places to eat this type of food where they do it much better . Fortunately we have this tool to rate and describe the place that can help future potential diners: Food: average (very bare bones everything . Variety on the menu: not much. Availability of dishes: minimal (at least one Sunday in the first shift of meals... . Local: small and with uncomfortable furniture. Service: regular. Quality/price ratio: low (expensive for what it is . I hope this will serve as a warning to future potential customers and that the place will do a little self criticism, which is not bad, instead of dispatching the overbearing wills in response to the minimally negative reviews they receive (which we saw before going while reading opinions but we thought they would be only isolated cases . I think the people giving it 5 points tried a different restaurant than the one we went to. We will not go back.

The service was friendly the food was drenched in oil. We ordered lamb, the portions were very small (we left most of it anyway) the cut of meat was very fatty. I would recommend eating ANYWHERE else in Aviles.
