A really great place to go when you've grown tired of pollo (chicken) and pescado(fish) casados. Tiny restaurant run by the owner who claims to raise his own sheep. Can't verify this but his lamb is very good anyway, if a bit pricey.

This is by far the best Middle Eastern Restaurant in San Jose Costa Rica even surpassing my previous review on Sisso of Jerusalem in Escazu.

My wife and 2 daughters had just arrived in San Jose, staying nearby at the Christina. To cut a long story short, we were greeted by a big fat guy who is the owner. He seems like a jolly, hospitable man - offering to bring us Meze while we wait for dinner. The usual assorted dips with pita bread. He... More
