The mixed grill was excellent. The meats were flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly. The only issue was the soup. It had a strange texture with some lumps in it, which made it less enjoyable. It felt like it may not have been prepared properly. Overall, a very good meal, and I would definitely come back for the mixed grill.
