Mir fehlen die Worte. Von außen eher unauffällig und unscheinbar, sind wir einfach spontan rein gestolpert und das Essen war einfach extrem lecker! Ich habe schon oft Pide gegessen, aber das war mit Abstand die Beste. Man merkt, dass das Essen mit Liebe gemacht ist. Alles ist super aufeinander abgestimmt und mit Gewürzen abgerundet. Egal ob Vorspeise, Hauptgericht oder Nachtisch, einfach lecker. Die Besitzerin ist super sympathisch, fröhlich, liebevoll und zuvorkommend. Man fühlt sich einfach willkommen und als Gast. Wir sind rundum satt und zufrieden, kommen sehr gerne wieder. Sehr selten so zufrieden gewesen.

Hoffentlich bald kein Geheimtipp mehr! Köstliches Essen und unglaublich sympathischer Service...die 5 Sterne sind mehr als verdient. Wir waren gestern spontan während unseres Geschwisterausflugs im Café Moqqas. Die Besitzerin und ihre Familie haben uns ab Sekunde eins unglaublich nett und zuvorkommend behandelt. Man fühlte sich fast wie bei Freunden. Zum Essen: Alles war köstlich! Angefangen vom Starter mit aromatisiertem Öl und Brot, über gefüllte Aubergine, Gambas oder Pide..jedes Gericht war authentisch, aromatisch, fein abgestimmt...man schmeckt, dass mit viel Liebe frisch gekocht wurde. On top haben wir uns wunderbar mit der Gastgeberin unterhalten. Wir vier Geschwister waren begeistert und können das Café von Herzen empfehlen. Viele Grüße von Tochter drei ;) vom Möhnesee

Absolutely wonderful! I found this place through Google maps and saw the reviews and gave it a try. Absolutely lived up to the reviews! I had the salmon salad and my sister had the chicken pizza. Both were delicious. From the second we walked in, we felt welcome and comfortable. I would go again if I were staying in town longer :)
