They don't slice the pizza for you. If you share, they don't bring an extra plate. When requested, they bring you an empty pizza pan. No deserts. Just pizza. NOTE: CASH ONLY. Otherwise they do take the local bank's debit card. If you are a traveler, they don't take VISA, MC or AMEX. No notice posted about that-- so big surprise when checking out. We had slightly less cash than the bill. Also, they charge 3euros to share a pizza! . They dropped the sharing charge, so that our total cash-in-pocket ended up sufficing. That was nice, but they took 30 minutes to come up with that idea. We offered to wash 3 euro's worth of dishes. Not pleasant.

Too much to eat in the first sitting so we are going back for more. The drink list, especially the gin concoctions, are well done. We were also impressed with the quality of the service, the servers make sure to give you a complete run down on the menu and then help you pick a selection that matches your taste. I had the pork ribs, delicious, my traveling companion has the brisket. Both were some of the best we have had. If you are in Leuven, this is a spot not to be missed.

I really recommend this place if you're searching for some not too expensive nice Asian food with good taste! The people are very friendly there and the atmosphere is cozy and calm. Since my travels this summer through Thailand and Laos, it was the first time in Leuven that I thought: the taste of the food here is really close to what I ate last summer! (And I ate lots of local food back then.) An Asian friend of me also really liked the food and he knows what's pretty good. (Okay it's just one single person, but it means something :-) ) Since we were there for a belated birthday dinner, the girl who makes the food heard this and we got a really nice pancake-ish dish for my birthday (for free)! Sidenote: don't let yourself distract by the white lights in the front of the restaurant if you don't like this, in the back they have a cozy corner with dimmed warm light. Enjoy!

Even though its main focus is providing plantbased fastfood, such as vegan calamares, burgers, ... They also provide options like salads, f.e. with vegan mozarella and zoodles (zucchini noodles) which are both glutenfree (luckily for my mom). It also functions as a small supermarket with quite a lot of options for being so small, when it comes to vegan charcuterie, icecream, even snacks for our furry friends! On top of that the staff is superfriendly and the interior is fresh, 'green' and cosy. Always a pleasure to eat there! P.s. For more restaurant-worthy food in the evening, I can surely recommend the original Loving Hut restaurant in the Tiensestraat at Leuven. Their awesome burgers are also available there by the way ;-)

I have never tasted Moroccan Cuisine so this was definitely a culinary treat. I think I've sampled as many dishes as I could amongst the family members that I had with me that day. I was able to meet the owner and the Chef that day. Though I have forgotten their names already, but I do remember that they were very engaging and attentive. There was a slight language barrier but in the language of food, it wasn't hard to discern the issue. I've sampled quite a few side dishes and entrees. For the life of me, I don't remember what was ordered but as you can see from the pictures that I have posted, let me tell you in all honesty, it was absolutely delicious! If I were to be in Belgium again when I visit Europe in 2014, I will definitely look for this restaurant again.
