“Хапвам шкембе чорба от над 28 години !!!! С чиста съвест мога да споделя, че шкембето на Механа е едно от най-добрите които съм опитвал ! Предното мнение не е коректно и не е отразява истината !!!! Не се подвеждайте !”
- Martin Angelov
“Посетихме ресторант ,,Механата,, с надежда за вкусна Шкембе чорба понеже с мой приятел сме фенове на тази гозба,но останахме разочаровани!Шкембето не беше сварено както трябваше и беше лигаво и жилаво,трудно за преглъщане!Самата чорба нямаше консистенцията която трябва да има едно шкембе,приличаше повече на агнешка чорба!Пърленката не си заслужава за парите които струваше!Атмосверата беше хубава,обслужването на сервитьора,предполагам и собственик беше леко високомерно,особено когато ни попита за мнението ни за чорбата!”

“Food is delicious. Different lunch menu everyday. Evening live music performance. Perfect atmosphere”
- Marija Medvedeva
“We tried this restaurant for the first time the other day and we were very impressed! The atmosphere and decor were really nice and the room was a perfect temperature. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We ordered 3 different dishes and everything tasted so delicious. We were happy with everything, the food, drinks, service and the price. Would highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back again soon.”

“Если решили посетить это заведение в надежде покушать приготовьтесь к получасовосу ожиданию в пустом ресторане пока кто-нибудь соизволит тебя обслужить”
