First time trying this restaurant. Perfect price & deal. Buy one get one free! Portion was great! Fresh & Taste very good. Chicken pieces on both items were tender & yummy. Satisfied! Would order again. Thanking

Chicken Alfredo was seasoned well and had an awesome pasta to sauce ratio. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, even when reheated the next day. Crispy Ravioli Bites were amazing! Crispy on the outside and the cheese inside wasn't too overpowering. I look forward to ordering again!
