Located in the historic city this restaurant serves North African cuisine. We initially got a table at the restaurant on the first floor, however the club on the second floor is where all the action happens. The food is nothing to rave about but whilst eating you can enjoy the traditional belly dancing after which the DJ comes on and you can dance to your favourite tunes till late.
