Svaka pohvala osoblju restorana koje je, unatoč nepredvidljivim okolnostima velikog broja gostiju na karminama, pokazalo efikasnost i profesionalnost kakva se u gužvi i takvim okolnostima rijetko vidi. Naime, imali su preko 60% gostiju više nego što je najavljeno. Hrana je bila vrhunska, usluga puna uljudnosti i suosjećanja prema obitelji u teškim trenutcima. Što god da smo zamolili (kao što je poseban prostor radi pružanja zdravstvene skrbi), odmah su ustupili sobu iako je nisu naplatili. Svaka preporuka za sva događanja.

Everything is perfect only the entrance it is like bar, I am not fan of that look. I think that they need renovation and modern touch.

Slavili smo rođendan. Dogovorili smo predjelo ( izvrsne 3 vrste brusketa), moji gosti su birali glavno jelo a la cart: punjeni lungići, pašticada, gurmanska plata za dvoje, pileće rolice sa pljukancima, vegetarijanske kuglice od mljevenom povrća, pa ispohano. Hrana je bila na nivou priče: odlično spremljena jela, na domaći način. Svi gosti (desetak) bili su zadovoljni i čestitali mi na odabiru Malog raja za proslavu. Ističem konobara koji nas je posluživao: izuzetno ljubazan i profesionalan. Ambijent je ugodan, topao.

They have lamb and let you watch as you bake it. Honestly, this is epic.

Tuna steak (Dalmatian) and Calamari stuffed with prawns were perfect. Portions are as they should be. Great food!

Nice and comfortable. Very wide parking just 100 meters far from the restaurant... Interior is very classic, not in the modern manner but very basic. Stress is on the food - very good, fresh and high quality... Nice
