Nice place, cozy. Hookah for 3.5 / 5, there may have been a mistake in the choice of taste. It's not packed on a day off.

Either they made fun of us, or we were very unlucky.
On 25.08, I came to the gastrofest as a girl. A table for two was booked for 19:00. We arrived on time, but we were told that our table was still occupied. They offered to put us at a large table (designed for 4 people), but warned that they might ask us to move... I said it didn't sound good, but I was convinced that it would only be a very last resort - they would try not to disturb us.
Okay, sit down. We made an order. By the way, the lemonade here is very tasty - I highly recommend it from the recipes.
The first course from the set was brought to us pretty quickly - we didn't have to wait even 10 minutes. The third (final) dish of the set was brought to us next - for some reason we missed the second one.
The food tasted good. We ate everything, the dishes were taken away from us, but the second course of the set was never brought to us.
I had to distract the waitresses passing by twice, asking where our dish was. 5 minutes later, our waitress came out and said with a grin that we had already eaten the second course from the set. I said she was wrong-she left.
After another 5 minutes, the receptionist came up to us and asked us to vacate the table - she said that we had been warned about this at the entrance. We explained the situation with the "missing" second course - the receptionist left for a while.
I assume that they watched on cameras whether we really ate the second course or tried to deceive them, but after another 5 minutes the receptionist returned and said that the dish would be brought to us soon.
We said there was no need - we decided to leave. To which the receptionist offered to prepare a takeaway dish - we agreed.
Already at home, looking into the container, we found a double portion of the second course, but we did not taste it, because there was a sharp smell of rotten meat.
In general, the administrator was as correct as possible, polite and tried to smooth out the negative impression as much as possible. The administrator is definitely five for working with the client.
However, the outrageous attitude on the part of the waitress (she could have looked at the camera before accusing us of lying), as well as the spoiled dish and problems with booking tables played their part - the impression of the institution remained negative and we definitely will not visit it again.

We were at the gastrofest. Excellent service, pleasant and attentive waiters, a very tasty set. The only drawback is that it's stuffy because of the basement, but everything is fine.

I really liked the atmosphere and the service! The staff is polite and attentive, the food is delicious and did not have to wait long, the cocktail menu was also pleased. I also liked that in some places (and we were at one of them) you can cover yourself with a curtain a little, it adds a little comfort and relaxation. Maybe it was lucky that there were actually no people (we visited on Monday evening), but in any case we liked everything and we will come again!

It's a very pleasant place.
I celebrated my birthday in the secret room (capacity 10 people). I liked that we did not overlap with the main movement in the institution in any way: we could put on our own music, use the TV. The Roma waiter is an interesting young man.
I didn't really like the fact that in order to switch the column, I had to stand on an elevation and pick at it myself (when booking, they said it was easy to do), and this time the hookah was really weak, I liked it much more from another master.
I would also like to pay more attention to the room, sometimes we waited for the waiter to make another order. Perhaps it is worth entering a button?
There were many positions on the foot (almost all wine). You can't bring your own alcohol, but there is a big discount on food on your birthday.
As it is, everything is fine, I advise you.

We were in the framework of the gastrofest, but we had to wait for a table, so we started from the bar, which turned out to be the right decision) The bartender is great, thanks for the aperitif! I unexpectedly liked the set, despite the rather simple dishes, very tasty and of high quality. The dessert seemed a little weaker, but it's a matter of taste. Separately, I would like to note the service, despite the flow of people, everything was clear and fast, to the waiter Roman, special thanks for the ability to maintain a conversation and a sense of humor!

Hookahs are great!!! The price for them is completely adequate. In the kitchen, they managed to mess up French fries and strips with sauce... What could be simpler. Pasta and burgers are on top! The place is atmospheric. Recommend.

An institution from the list of must-visit in Minsk, to the level of which the rest of the city's restaurant culture should definitely strive. Excellent cuisine, where everything is delicious without exception. By the way, if you're around at lunchtime, be sure to stop by for lunch. Huge portions at affordable prices. They are incomparable! Hookahs always have an accurate hit according to preferences. A very friendly and friendly team, the guys create a cozy homely atmosphere. One of the favorite places in the city. I recommend. You will definitely not regret the time spent in this place.

The bar was selected based on the rating. But everyone will find what they like/dislike about something. I won't say that I didn't like it at all. But I "didn't scream with delight." A normal place. Hookah for 3 out of 5 points. Atmosphere 4 out of 5. Napoleon cake 2 out of 5. But tartlets with fillings are 5 out of 5. The restroom is 1 out of 5. The waiter was friendly, but the hookah master put on a hookah and forgot about us (he came up only once). I'm not saying that he should have been sitting at our table, but just to ask if everything was okay with the hookah.
Will I go there again? More no than yes.

An atmospheric place, with an amazing kitchen and friendly staff (I visited the institution as part of the gastrofest), there is a reasonable reason why four stars- guys, you need to do something with the toilet!!! We were sitting in the opposite part of the establishment and smelled it!

Overall, it's not a bad place to sit. On Friday evening there was live music, the place itself is not very noisy, so it is suitable to sit and chat. By hookah - for three, they do well according to the fortress, but the taste very quickly becomes unusable. We were pleased with the rolls - they are big and delicious, for their price quite to themselves. Cocktails are normal, great for your money.

I came to the gastrofest with my wife and was surprised: the interior is beautiful, the service is professional and courteous, the food is excellent. Really, every dish was cooked perfectly. We took additional desserts - this is a dump of the head. I recommend it to everyone.

An amazing place! The mozzarella burger is a work of art! On Monday there is a 30% discount on burgers, and on Thursday there is a 50% discount on sushi second roll. For example, the average check with a hookah for two without alcohol is ~ $ 30. In my opinion, it's normal.

An unusual story about the interior. For an institution with an emphasis on hookah, something new and atmospheric. It is clear that the kitchen and especially the hookahs were approached with full responsibility
I was glad that the choice fell not on a semi-club, but on live music, which allowed me to fully enjoy my time in the institution

It's a very good place, but only on weekends. Hookah man Igor knows his business, bartender Alexander also pours well and knows his business)
In general, I really liked it, and I will visit it more often than ever before)

We were here with a friend at a gastrofest (photo attached). I really liked it, it was delicious. The interior is also not bad. An interesting solution is to make something like windows from boarded-up boards.
Since there is a pandemic now, the corresponding attributes are present. Masks were in individual paper bags at the entrance. I was very impressed by the presence of ordinary hand towels near the sinks, this is the first time I've met with such a thing.
I recommend the place. Take care of yourself and be healthy.

Unfortunately, 3 stars. The drinks and ramen were not delicious. Sushi and burger are more or less Hookah, the atmosphere and the staff are 5 stars. And they carried the food for a very long time: something 50 minutes, and some dishes 60-70 minutes.
I hope you will fix it😉
And please add a common door to the toilet, because all conversations from the bar are very clearly audible and therefore it is uncomfortable to go to the bathroom.
