The only downsides were the rather kitsch decor and the unexpected prices: one or two euro more than I have paid for the same dish elsewhere.

Buffet style Middle eastern (Egyptian?) food.

Lots of different dishes to choose from. Very good pita bread. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Pretty affordable, about $20 per person. If you eat more, you can obviously get a bang for your buck. Walking distance from the train station. We came in with our luggage and they stored it for us. Some of the tables are very close to the floor with the chairs at the same height as the table, so good to be open to different experiences. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
