I couldn't speak French well but the orner is super nice guy and he speaks English for me. I really impressed! This was my first time to eat falafel. It tastes great! It's a kind of croquette. The service was so nice that I bought a chicken sandwich on my way home. I'll definitely come back!

We are traveling through Rennes and found this gem. The staff (or owner) offered to explain the menu to us and even showed the video of how it’s cooked. Extremely friendly staff. The food is excellent. One of the most delicious Mediterranean food I’ve had. Everything blends really well. Great value with great price. They also offered for us to try their homemade falafel which was not disappointing at all. Highly recommend.

Very nice place, friendly service! I don't speak French, but the staff speaks English and was quite detailed about the menu and what it offers (very large selection). Clean, spacious, warm and in large portions of food. At a very good price. Greetings from Bulgaria! :)

10/10 chicken shawarma. The guy that owns it is really proud of his food, and it radiates. Would highly recommend it if you're in the area. Falafel is a must, the best I've ever tasted.

Was visiting the city and found this place while walking in the city centre, the owner was very friendly which encouraged me to buy the shawarma there. The food was quite good and had to come back again the next day. I do recommend the shawarma, it tested very delicious. If you are visiting Rennes, i do highly recommend the place.
