"O proprietário fica na Porta chamando a atenção dos que passam em frente ao Restaurante de modo simpático e educado; você se sente como que "esperado" e o fato me foi agradável; os atendentes são rápidos e atentos, o ambiente é amplo, bonito e confortável; experimentei um salgado (kibe) e estava delicioso: úmido, bem temperado e em temperatura esperada; os valores cobrados (via débito) foram abaixo do que eu esperava o que me surpreendeu. Senti-me satisfeito pelo que aguardava; recomendo, sim!"

"Diante de inúmeras opções de lanchonetes no Centro de SP, quero destacar essa. Os funcionários são muito atenciosos, os lanches caprichados e os salgados bem saborosos. Recomendo as esfihas de carne, tanto fechada como aberta, que são muito bem temperadas. Preço justo. Não conheço lanchonete melhor do que essa na Xavier de Toledo."
