Absolutely fuming. We went for dinner, lacked so much seasoning and salt. Food was bland unfortunately. We had a lot off food left over so we asked for it to be packed away. They packed it away, came home to discover they had literally squashed EVERYTHING in one container. To a lot of people that may be normal but putting anchovies, meat balls, sausages, cheese rolls, rice and many more all in one container squashing it all in as if it was a bin is absolutely disgusting. I was absolutely horrified that they mixed fish, meat, cheese and rice all together. You wouldn't serve it like this in your restaurant on a plate all mixed up so I'm baffled as to why they thought doing this would be okay. It's just basic knowledge and common sense on food hygiene as that could have caused food poisoning mixing meat, fish, cheese and rice all together. It should have been separated in different containers. Anyway safe to say we won't be returning.

Our favourite Turkish restaurant. They have gluten free options, including bread. Love the ice cold beer glasses and have a great midweek deal.

·

Nice atmosphere and good service. Food was ok but the portions were measly. Smallest mixed grill I've ever had in my life. Quite disappointing really. Won't be going back.

Nice atmosphere. Nice food, full of flavour, but shame the main meal portion was small and priced as near London restaurants.

·

Great meal as usual, buzzy atmosphere and lovely staff.

Came here for my mum's birthday a week ago. The atmosphere was nice, good decor and friendly staff. We didn't have to wait too long for food. However the food was mixed quality.The nachos were stale on both the starter and the side on one of the mains.The lamb ribs are so fatty that you can't get any meat off them. (We did mention this and weren't charged for them)My brother and I ordered the steak, which was a sirloin. A little on the thin side, but was a decent cut. However, I ordered mine rare and it came medium/well, and my brother ordered his medium and it came well done, no pink whatsoever. Was very disappointed at this. (I did mention this but I didn't really get a reply).The rest of the food was spot on though. Both the chicken and the fish were cooked perfectly and were full of flavour, all the sides were tasty and presented nicely.Shame to give this place such an average rating but any chef who so obviously over cooks a steak needs educating on how to do it properly.

Had a lovely lunch here. Very reasonably priced starter & main deal. King prawn starter, and mixed gill mains were very tasty! Will definitely go back if I'm in the area.

Loved the ambience of this place! Was great for an intimate v-day dinner! Staff was so friendly, advised us on what to order, listened to our specifications. Food was so so good!! Although I would say portions were on the smaller side. Pricey place but great for a special occasion. Would definitely visit again

Came here for a delicious family dinner, on a busy Saturday night.We had phoned, earlier in the day, and managed to reserve a table for 8 of us.There was a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere as we walked in, and happily welcomed by the staff.Really liked the menu, (not to big) which had a selection of starters and mains, big dishes and little dishes.All the food was flavoured and cooked beautifully, the was nothing that we did not enjoy.Would happily come back if I was in the area again
