This place serves the best goat soup I ever taste. It tasted very homey, warm, and delicious. Their rice have great quality too, far from other traditional restaurants like this. Even though the place is quite small, full with tables and chairs, but it's still quite comfy to eat here. The servers was polite and helpful. The price was quite affordable for the quality they offer.
