Excellent customer service and very clean restaurant. Great music while having your food. Amazing halal food, we had the steak with fries, Cubano and the colombiano. Very filling dish. It is a great spot and highly recommended restaurant. We ended up going there a few times during our stay in playa.

Food looks amazing and taste good but it was not the best! They have Halal menu for who’s interested.
Ordered the Venezuelana plate which looked delicious but unfortunately the meet was super chewy which we didn’t enjoy.
We had two different chicken sandwiches, one was very good with cheese but the other one had cartilage and skin in it wich we had to chew and take it off, it had a good flavour tho.
I might give it another try but not sure since we ended up paying around $60 U.S dollars.

This little place was on the walk home, and I saw empañadas on the menu, so lunch was found. The service was quick and efficient, although not smiley nor happy, very professional. A half dozen seats outside and another half dozen inside provide what little ambiance that there is. The food itself was good-bad.
They were out of juices, so I had to order a plain lemonade. It came with no ice? Why is there no ice on a hot day? It was cool-ish on arrival but warmed up too quickly.
The menu is a bit Halal middle eastern with a couple sections for Basmati Rice and doners. Doners! Basically gyros, or they are supposed to be. The one that arrived was in a bun, not on a pita bread. The meat was too thick and chunky, and overall, there was not much taste. There was sauce either, so it was rather dry. I didn't eat any of the French fries.
They advertise empeñadas, which is why I stopped. I LOVE empeñadas! So I order one ground beef and one pollo (chicken). The server gives me a look and puts her head inside and asks the cook if he has ground beef. Nope!!! She tells me no and sticks her head back inside and asks about the pollo. Nope again!!!
So I end up asking, "what do you actually have?" She asks the chef, and the only option is cheese or shredded beef. I ask for one shredded to go with my doner and lemonade. After a 15 minute wait, the food arrives and there are THREE empeñadas, not the ONE that I asked for.
But I have to give credit where credit is due. The empeñada was freshly made, super saucey and almost birria meat consistency inside, along with a perfect crust. The side of chimmichurri was perfect with ajo, parsley, oil, herbs, etc.
In summary, I would not recommend or return here, but I may get takeout empeñadas in the future.

The atmosphere is lovely. The food came quickly, hot and it was delicious!
I got the Cuban combo and it was flavorful and authentic. Reminded me of my childhood🤩
I highly recommend this place and will be back!

Great halal option in Playa del Carmen! The food was very tasty, the service was great, the staff were very kind, and I loved the atmosphere (especially the outdoor seating). The fresa limonade was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had! :)

Delicious "tequeños", a sort of venezuelan mozz sticks (different cheese, wrapped in a thin bread, not bread crumbs). Shredded been empanadas were also great.
