I ordered my food, they took my money, and I still haven't received my order. It's been almost two hours since I placed it. I called them to check on my order, and they just said it was on the way and hung up.

The dishes look absolutely delicious. I plan to visit that place someday. read more The dishes look absolutely delicious. I plan to visit that place someday.
