I am not sure if the good reviews are genuine to be honest! I usually don't leave one star review but with this place unfortunately I have to. when you go in the atmosphere is not really welcoming. (however the waitress was nice) but the owner (I believe) was so unfriendly even though he was trying but he maid the atmosphere so uncomfortable. while ordering the food the guy was so unhappy as one of our friends was only ordering a few starter as she was pregnant and couldn't eat much and also any meat. we asked regarding the yogurt drink and if they serve it with mint, again he was so defensive and upset why we did ask such question and mentioned a few time and Turkish people never put mint in this drink! (so what, can anyone else not do that? is it against the humanity? ) when the food arrived, it tasted worse than the street food with the price of high quality restaurant, you could smell and taste the excessive fat that had used to make the food look good!! while eating we were constantly were watched and observed! the environment was enjoyable at all and we didn't even wait any longer just to leave and skipped the dessert part. Definitely would not recommend the place as there are so many much much better restaurant in Birmingham which you can enjoy your...
Read moreWe went here for a birthday celebration. In the end the meal was so disjointed it was comical. There was at least one part of each dish we ordered missing (didn't match the menu). The waiters (although being quite friendly) were just a bit forgetful (ie - you would order a drink and it just wouldn't arrive). I had to get up at least three times during the meal to get their attention as there seemed to be a large presence behind the bar rather than on the restaurant floor. The glass that the water was served out of had a huge chip in it which could have been potentially dangerous. There was no real apology just the full bill presented at the end. I really think that an improvement in service could go a long a way. If there aren't enough ingredients to complete a dish, please tell the diner rather than bringing it out at a substandard level and telling them after when it is queried. I ordered a baklava with ice cream. It turned up with no ice cream. When queried the staff told me there was no ice cream and subsequently went over the road to Tesco express and returned with a saucer full of Ben and Jerry's chocolate ice cream?!? This was about ten minutes after they brought the dessert and we were ready to leave. It was a very...
Read moreI am pretty sure all the good reviews on here are fake because there is just no way anyone would give this place anything more than a 1 star. This is the worst place you could ever eat!!! The service is APPALLING!. I went here with 4 colleagues on a Friday evening. We all ordered our meals and approx. half an hour later they brought 3 plates of food out for my colleagues and the waitress goes to me, "what did you order again?". I told her what I had ordered and it turns out she had forgotten to put the order through so they had not made my food!!!! The chef then comes out and asked me to choose something as on the menu as what I had originally ordered would take too long to cook. I then chose something he he picked (was the quickest to cook, took about 7 mins). never tasted anything so bland, could have done better job at cooking myself!!!. That's not even the worst part. The still charged me for that horrendous meal!!! I think its safe to say I will never set foot in this place again. And I will be telling everyone I know...
