Lunch – Ramsis restaurant

By lessan | Published: February 24, 2006

Walked down to Ben Gurion for lunch, decided to try Ramsis restaurant:

We ordered the Kebab dish:

But a warning to all would-be clients: being an Arab restaurant they bring lots of salads, sauces and bread before the meal arrives, so ordering one dish is more than enough:

Including hummus:

We didn’t know that of course, so we also ordered prawns:

There was a nice decoration near the window, looking out to the street:

Oh, and they bring bottled Pepsi!

We played Shadows over Camelot, a cooperative game:

Unfortunately we lost!

We came so close, but that Vivien card showed it’s true colors.
