    We came to Civilisation for a surprise group birthday party. The organization was top-notch, and the servers were excellent. We were able to enjoy ourselves in a relaxed atmosphere, as a private room was provided. Thank you again to the Civilisation team for their warm welcome. We look forward to returning.

    Nice menu with several vegetarian options. The veggie burger is very good and a generous portion. However, it was served lukewarm, as was the dish of the person I was with.

    A very nice place. The waitresses and waitresses are very pleasant, patient, kind, helpful, and always smiling. The food was very good, despite one minor issue, and the atmosphere was generally quite calm, except when a group of pre-teens arrived nearby. Otherwise, it was perfect. A big thank you to them; I will definitely be back. I highly recommend going there.

    A bustling modern restaurant, frequented in large part by locals rather than guests from the adjacent hotels - always a good sign. Wide-ranging menu, including set meals. Prices extremely fair for...
