We stumbled on this restaurant by chance as we’re meeting friends for dinner and High Wycombe was a midway point. Haven’t been there in years so finding parking was tricky with the traffic system but best tip is park in the Swan parking then a two minute walk. The restaurant only opened in December 2023 and is huge with a modern decor and a very warm welcome. Our waiter was attentive and helpful with the menu and suggestions of what to choose. We had a selection of starters including the hot mezze, lambs liver, Russian Salad and falafel. With the meal they also bring Turkish bread which is the perfect combination with the starters. Main courses we only chose two between 4 and it was more than enough. A mixed grill and a Chicken dish cooked in the oven similar to a Moussaka.

We arrived promptly at 5:30 PM, but our food didn't arrive until 6:25 PM, which was a considerable wait.
