I sat down because there was a hanging chalk board sign saying kebab at 10. It was nothing fancy, some coleslaw, small size of rice and mash then a few slices of toast with a mixed kebab. I asked for my bill and it turns out it was 10 British pounds... so the 10 TL was actually 70 TL! That’s a huge difference.

We were made most welcome even though we informed staff that we weren't dining at that time and neither were we hurried out of there.
