Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the grilled meats, with the chicken shish served with rice, bread and salad and meats described as incredibly juicy. Close behind are the mezze, which one reviewer calls full of flavour, the calamari, and the bread. The courtyard garden comes up repeatedly, with Turkish music and festoon lighting that make it feel like a holiday, and the staff are described as friendly, helpful and quick. One reviewer says the inside is small and essential to book, even on a weeknight. The one sharply negative visit found the room cramped and loud. The Turkish feta salad arrived without the tomatoes, cucumber or pomegranate sauce listed on the menu, the garlic mushrooms were greasy and oily, and the starters and mains landed at the table together. That reviewer also noted a nearby table still waiting on food. Another diner took a takeaway back to a campsite, where it was still piping hot.

“Wow what a disappointment! Visited yesterday as read great reviews. It was very cramped inside, quite loud and not the greatest atmosphere. Food was expensive and not good. See attached pictures of the starters. We ordered Turkish Feta Salad, described on the menu comes with cucumber and also tomatoes, in addition to a special pomegranate sauce. As you can see there was no tomatoes, no cucumber, no sauce on it and a think about 5 small pieces of feta. Small bowl of green leaves mainly for £7.90. Also says on the menu the cold meze comes with warm Turkish bread, it didn't there was no bread served with the Turkish Feta Salad. The garlic mushrooms were greasy and oily. After 2 minutes of the starters being served, the host apoglised and said they had messed up in relation to that our mains were ready now as well. So had our main courses with our starters, mains were okay, however came with two small pieces of bread and wasn't that tasty. The red wine was okay, no choice of wine either, Red, White or Rosa. At £27 for the bottle it was average. Never asked how the food was, no offer if we wanted any more drinks and no offer if we wanted any desserts. Table behind us we noticed had waited for over an hour with no sight of food, it seemed like there order had been missed. Our bill came to about £78, I left no tip as would be lying if I would say was worth the money. Would we visit again? No, we wouldn't recommend it and would say avoid. Other restaurants to choose from and cannot understand all the positive reviews based on our experience.”

“We had a takeaway from here and the food was amazing! We took it back to our campsite and it was still piping hot and tasted great!”

“Visited here as part of a work trip and it was such lovely food! Had the calamari to start, which was done perfectly! Followed by the Chicken Shish, which was full of flavour, and accompanied by rice, bread and salad! The plates are beautiful and sell traditional Turkish beer in quirky bottles! Staff were very attentive, friendly and liked to crack a joke which made for a nice relaxed atmosphere! Small inside so essential to book, it was busy even on a weeknight!”
