in the last weekIt was pretty busy when I went, so there was no parking sadly. However, I had an easy time ordering and the staff was very helpful since it was my first time there. I got the sweet potato fries, and the curry chicken salad sandwich. The fries were different, they tasted like they had cinnamon on them but the sauce they gave me tangy, which honestly was a tasty combination. The sandwich was different from anything I’ve ever had, but it was pretty good. All in all, the food quality is probably what puts this restaurant on top! You can definitely tell that the quality of the food is good, and I will be going back to try more items on their menu.

in the last weekBest meal I had in Arkansas. They cater well to vegetarians. I had an incredible mushroom meal from their specials board. Just please, I beg you, do not get a can of red wine. They took it off my bill, bless them. It tastes like feet.
