1. Extremely Bad Service
2. Small portions of food. The fixed menu is deceiving. You are forced to take it! Bad Food
3. Outrageously expensive.
I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE WEBSITE AND GO THROUGH WHAT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH!!!
We were in group of about 10 people at Cossu (known as Pasha before) celebrate a friend's birthday in Sept 2008. Firstly, their menu and waiters are very deceiving. Even though they had entrees listed in the menu, we were told that we had to order the Moroccan and Middle Eastern tasting platter and that we had to order a minimum of 8 of those for 10 people (even though the menu clearly states that 1 platter served 2 people) .It was weird that they did not mention an of this when we made the reservation, but was later almost forced on us, for there were no other options!! The service was extremely bad!
In my 26 years, I have been to several restaurants in 5 continents and have never come across such BAD SERVICE!!! We had to walk to find the waiters as there was no one attending to our table. The pace at which the food was served was extremely slow, so slow that people were looking at each other wondering when the next course would come!! In the 8 platters we had called for, we were served only 5 falafels. We wanted some more, but finally gave up and walked out of the restaurant after waiting for nearly 2 hours and reminder him 4 times!!!
There was one belly dancer who barely performed for 30 minutes all night and band failed to make up for the bad service and food with their shrill and cacophonous music!!
The agonizing 2.5 hours with bad food, bad entertainment and frustrating service came with an exhorbitant prize to the effect of $80-85 per person. They charge a 10-12% entertainment tax (Don't know what this is and they don't tell you about it in advance) + 18% fixed gratuity +8.25% sales tax top of their overpriced food and drinks! What - a - RIP OFF!
Pros: Nothing. Keep AWAY!
Cons: Bad Deceiving Style of sevice, Bad food and ambience, Outrageously expensive
