The Age Epicure 5/4/05 Matt Preston "Bare brick walls are now covered with tagines and intricate ceramics for sale, alongside the more predictable tourist bullfight posters and paintings of coyly flirtatious flamenco dancers. The front wall of windows opens to the street from a welcoming cavern of a room lined with cushion-strewn banquettes and lit by cart-wheel chandeliers."

The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "BOLD paintings of flamenco dancers catch your eye from the street. Inside, there's more colour from pointy-hatted tagines, the glossy Moroccan ceramics used to create succulent meat or vegetable stews redolent of spices."
