Funny place, but with the best goat meat in Dombai. The bbq was tasty and the prices ok, 2k per person. Local beer, the service was standard.

Самое лучшее заведение в поселке. Вкусно, чисто, порции большие. Новый зал понравился. 4 раза приезжали и ходили туда. Единственный минус - часто, места приходится ждать.

Дороговато, много посетителей, но много официантов, обслуживание быстрое. Все вкусно. Очень дорогое вино. Пиво Карачаевское 3-дневного срока годности (есть везде) лучший напиток!

Stop by for a dinner, good atmosphere and welcoming staff. We took bbq from lamb and kebab with grilled vegetables, everything was fresh and delicious. Meat was cooked properly and was very soft. Adjika homemade amazing! Highly recommended.

Достойное место, одно из лучших где мы были в Домбае. Вкусно, красивая подача, царские кресла. Были несколько раз и всегда полная посадка, свободный столик найти трудно. Официанты хорошие, быстро подача блюд, цены средние. Всё понравилось
