What visitors wrote

“The ultimate Gagauzian Kitchen and Entertainment. We visited this iconic place not too long ago. I have to say I had a very good experience. The food and the service is outstanding; the menu represents the Gagauzian culture and food customs. I am very happy that we came here and visited this complex and slept here. The standard is very high here even with Western European eyes.”

“This place is absolutely disgusting. The bathrooms are filthy, and the food is not worth the price. The service is terrible. Don’t go here; it’s garbage.”
