You can see a stadium with stands; pharaohs from the Egyptian-themed one; cowboy themed one with bull heads and a beautiful balcony with Romeo and Juliet-themed dining space. It is one of the very few places in the city that allows hookah and has separate smoking and non-smoking sections in the cafe. They have quite a few food choices from honey-glazed chicken, potato cheese balls to steak, stroganoff and creme brûlée and tiramisu.
