Edit: Unfortunately we now have to speculate that the cream cheese was maybe only scraped off the bread and replaced with hummus, since we now experience the typical symptoms of eating dairy when lactose intolerant! (also the plate came back not even 5 minutes later, which supports this suspision)
___________________________________
Service is incredibly slow, we waited about 5 minutes to be seated. When we finally sat down the waiter just left instead of asking us for drinks, so we had to wait another 15 minutes.
Finally a young lady took our orders, but only the dishes arrived, the beverages where forgotten. We asked for 2 waters and 2 coffees it took another 15 minutes for this to arrive at our table.
While ordering we mentioned lactose intolerance, but apparently that was not important to the waitress so they replaced the cream sauce with cream cheese, which obviously makes no sense. The shakshuka was bland and tasted like tomato sauce from a jar. I expect seasoning when I read "oriental" there was none. The salad that was supposed to come with it was on top of it and of course warm and therefore inedible.
My plate was barely touched, yet no-one bothered to ask if something was wrong with the food when we payed.
Besides that the setting was nice but extremely crowded since they also had some sort of book signing right there, which made a relaxed brunch impossible because there was constant commotion around our table.
Overall the experience was terrible, the food was bland and the service was bad. We are not coming back or recommending this overhyped place. Every penny spent there is a waste of your hard earned money.
