IN OTHER WORDS
Simon Says (2015) “C’est parfois rock n’roll… c’est franchement bon, déluré avec une clientèle jouant le jeu à fond, celui d’une gourmandise vorace non feinte (croyez- moi ça actionne sec). Prix pas si doux que cela, mais sincèrement, adresse valable et stylish pour les amateurs du style.”
Simon Says (2014) “Tout est préparé sous vos yeux derrière le comptoir par une armée de cuistots venus pour la plupart d’Israël. Sono remontée comme un coucou, affluence des grands jours, attendez vous à un petit choc frontal qui devrait faire se pâmer quelques foodies en mal de sensations fortes. Tout était bon, quasiment donné (en dessous et au-dessus de 10 euros).”
Foodbox (2014) “Des pitas maison, moelleuses, garnies avec generosité de kebab d’agneau, fin, non gras et savoureux, ou de poisson épicé comme chez ma maman, des choux fleurs entiers grillés servis avec de l’huile d’olive et de la fleur de sel, des patates douces rôties doucement, mais aussi des plats à l’assiette comme le surprenant bœuf bourguignon.”
Time Out (2013) “It’s just a little costlier than you would possibly discover elsewhere, however streets forward in high quality. The cooks, largely Israeli natives, chop hen and meat proper in entrance of you on the glowing clear counter. With a cup of free mint tea and a few spicy sauces, you may get caught into hen pitta, lamb kebab and steak with issues like grilled cauliflower or candy potato, takeaway or eat in.”
Figaroscope (2013) “Chou-fleur rôti: fameux de saine simplicité. Pita kebab d’agneau: bien fourni. Pita maquereau: sur ce coup, le ache gagnerait à un petit supplément de gril.”
Le Fooding (2013) “Et alors, oui : même si ça se la pète un peu, c’est bon, frais, mijoté, et ça cale bien!”
