We truly enjoyed the food and the overall Iftar experience, thank you for creating a welcoming space for Muslims during Ramadan. One point we’d kindly like to raise is the presence of alcohol being served. While we understand it’s a personal and business choice, many Muslims actively seek out halal-friendly dining spaces that don’t serve alcohol, which can be quite rare in Dublin. We’d love to continue supporting the restaurant and recommend it to our community, but this aspect might make it difficult for some to feel fully comfortable dining in. We hope this feedback is taken with the appreciation and respect with which it’s shared.
