Customer Review Summary
Diners most often point to the cold meze, served within a set meal or alongside grilled meats, with the lamb ribs close behind. Reviewers describe authentic Turkish flavours, generous portions and dishes cooked fresh in the show kitchen, with something for every type of meat plus fresh salads. The baklava and the shakes also earn praise. Staff come up repeatedly as welcoming and helpful, with servers who knew the menu and made recommendations, and one party said the team made a birthday feel special. Several describe the evening as feeling like a night out on holiday. The main reservation comes from one anniversary diner who found a busy Saturday rushed, with plates cleared and the dessert menu and bill arriving almost straight after the meal, though they called it understandable. Another reviewer was unsure about the outside of the building before going in. One reviewer suggests booking even on a week night. Another could not finish the portions and took leftovers home.

“Fantastic time celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. I highly recommend the set meal with cold meze or the lamb ribs. Phenomenal food just felt slightly rushed out after eating, we had the plates cleared, the desert menu and the bill within 3 minutes! But understandable as it was a quite busy Saturday night.”

“When we arrived we were a bit unsure by the outside but we are glad we came through the door as the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The food was very tasty and warrants the prices. We couldnt eat it all so took away leftovers and would come back again”

“The food here is outstanding. Service is excellent, staff are very attentive and friendly. The menu has lots of choices and there is something for every taste. The interior is nice, the restaurant is clean. I would definitely come back here and recommend to anybody. I would recommend to book, even on a week night, they get extremely busy.”
