Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the weekday lunch menu, which several call incredible value, and many describe regular work lunches and group visits with little delay. Diners praise the food as delicious and consistent, with huge plates of fresh salads, juicy meat cooked to perfection and Turkish bread one reviewer calls something else. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and lovely, and the evenings get mentions for fun cocktails and Friday live music, which one server suggested to a lunch regular. The criticism is narrower but pointed. One reviewer with a Saturday booking waited far longer than the quoted few minutes, was not offered a chair while heavily pregnant, and saw a large group given a free round of drinks for the delay. When asked about it, the owner was described as rude and dismissive, and the reviewer will not return. Another found the table legs along the bench seating awkward for a group. Regulars say they keep ordering the same mixed meat shish and fish shish kebabs.
