Traditional and modern dishes, some cooked over charcoal, served in Anatolian-style surrounds.

This barely qualified as cooking. Had the beef stifado, from the overly long menu, and the onion had about as much taste as the beef chunks (none).

Amazing food and great service, we'll come back for sure!

Where do I start, it was a party for 19 of us, got there 6.30-7pm. Mezes came at 9 definitely wasn't 7 dishes but thank god for the bread because literally we paid £39.99 for mezes, platter and desert along with bottomless prosecco. We were then told we would have to leave by 10.30 but on the phone told we could have it until 12.00am.The platters literally were so small everyone of us had no more than 3 pieces of chicken and maybe a little rice. No lamb came with these platters which they forgot to mention.Not one of us got pudding.Some of us had a few drinks but for those who didn't drink were sad.Terrible although he has offered some of us to come back to get half price food, I don't think any of us would go back ( first impressions and all).What a shame we all feel completely robbed.False advertisement as we didn't get half of our food and NO pudding.Definitely won't be seeing me again.They should have given us back at least half of our money the same night.Oh yea and also we had to pay for it before we ate, as if they knew they were about to Rob us as we would never have paid for this shambles.He also owned up and said lack of staff.Very bad business.

We came for dinner without reservation and the staff found a table for us very quickly. We had borek, veg moussaka and falafel platter. Incredible quality of food, friendly staff and good prices. We will come back!

This a great place for a boozy brunch, we had the £39 which includes 7 cold meze, 2 hot any main course and dessert with 2 hours of unlimited drink. The quality of the food was great it was all really tasty. All the meze dishes were really moreish and the octopus I got for my main was superb. The waitress who served was a super star. Very attentive and alway made sure we had a drink. There were 4 of us drinking procecco and were given a massive bottle to drink between us. We had got through a number of bottles in the 2 hour time limit. There was so much food, they gave us containers to take the left overs home with us. We had a great time and we'll definitely go back again.

An amazing restaurant, great food and great service. We had the bottomless brunch (at 6pm). Drinks were topped up, food was lovely and the staff were friendly. Definitely coming back and recommending to everyone.

First class.. attentive but not over bearing staff.. lovely food.. reasonable priced .. We were a party off 6.. and we were made to feel special from the moment I booked till .the moment off departure...

Cute place with good quality food.The reason for giving them a 3/5 is due to how slow service was.Even though the place was not that busy it took 15 minutes for them to take our order and an hour before food came out to the table so that wasn’t the greatest. Also, 4 staff were present but none of them appeared to be doing much for some reason.Also, oil on the tzatziki is not appropriate, it was too oily. They must have confused it with hummus.

Wow! This place has sky rocketed since new management took over in August last year. Extremely well priced for the quality, this is posher Turkish food with a nice selection and daily specials. The chicken breast in creamy sauce with roasted vegetables was deceptively delicious and a generous portion. The king prawn starter was also excellent
