Customer Review Summary
The classic meze spread draws the most praise, with hummus, baba ghanoush and bread starters repeatedly singled out alongside a shared-plate approach that works well for groups and kids. Close behind is the baklava and other home cooked desserts, along with mains reviewers describe as consistently well prepared. Several note friendly, attentive service, including one account of staff bringing out a birthday cake with a candle, and the restaurant is BYO, with one diner mentioning nearby shops for drinks if needed. A few smaller complaints surface: one reviewer found the chicken kebab lacking spice, and another mentions occasional flies. One reviewer reports a dispute over an unremovable service charge after unordered extra bread was brought to the table, though the same reviewer still called the food nice. Multiple reviewers say they plan to return regularly.

“Food was great and excellent service. Prices cheaper than other similar. What's not to like. Well done sham will be seeing you soon”

“One of our favourite restaurants. Food is always perfect, great for sharing and the kids will always find something they are happy with too. The staff are always polite and helpful. The restaurant decor is great and atmospheric and the place is always spotlessly clean.”
- Evan
“TL;DR: good food, but staff tried to stop us removing service charge which is OPTIONAL. The food was actually nice, which means it’s a shame to rate this place so low because the server claimed when we asked to remove a nearly £7 service charge they gave us extra bread without adding it to the bill, keeping in mind we ORDERED ONE. If they bring us more without us asking, you assume it’s part of the item. But apparently not, and that’s justification to add a huge service charge onto the bill we can’t remove? No thank you! We won’t be returning here again. It’s a shame because the food was actually nice, but I’m not being scammed out of my money over something we didn’t order.”
