Customer Review Summary
Shawarma is the dish reviewers raise most, and opinions split sharply. One calls the mixed lamb and chicken shawarma banging, praising the meat, bread, salad and garlic yoghurt sauce, while another calls the chicken shawarma terrible and a third says it tasted awful. Mixed grill and chicken and lamb kebabs are named as popular, and one diner describes chicken wings with rice, salad, warm soft bread and fresh dips, plus an Uludag orange pop. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and welcoming, and portions are called good for one or shareable between two. The complaints are about quality and value. One reviewer found the kebab platter's chicken and lamb chops dry, with plain rice, and felt the money was not well spent. A longtime regular found the meat cold and the food worse than before. That diner asked about five times for more bread and received only the initial serving. One reviewer was not keen on the chilli sauce pot. A single reviewer simply praised the soup.
