If I could give it a minus "0" I would. Worse food ever and the place is dirty and it smells. Food was worse then looking through garbage, couldn't even eat it. Had to change my clothes when I got home because the place stinks of burned oil and God knows that else. Never again will we eat in the place. NASTY, NASTY!

Portions are huge, it seems like every item will fill a dinner plate by itself!
