The high standards are maintained by owner and manager Hasib Saleh, a native Afghani who wears a pleasant grin as he takes orders, organizes his staff, and jokes with frequent visitors. He´s decorated his restaurant with various objects from his native land, including many rugs – one nailed to the wall says, in slightly broken English, “HAPPY BRIH-DAY TO YOU.” Jars of pickled vegetables line the small bar, and the restaurant walls are painted in rich orange and yellow. This gentle eccentricity makes for a cozy atmosphere perfectly suited to counterbalance Prague´s often-dreary winter evenings. In the summertime, a spacious patio area in the adjoining courtyard fills up with patrons looking for a shady spot to eat and rest.
