Half way through eating my spaghetti bol I found a black short hair which was not mine as I have brown hair. Was only offered a free drink! Would not recommend going and paying their prices for that kind of service

We ordered in advance visa email. The Bibis team acknowledged our emails reach time they were sent very quickly indeed and phones me to confirm. They were very attentive. It was the same at the restaurant also. We felt as though the service was relaxed but efficient, we were unrushed even though they were very busy. The food was good too.
