I really wanted to like this place but I don’t feel like it lived up to the current rating of 4.8 it has. If it was reasonably priced I would say maybe but for the price of about £18 for a lamb shish that is only 5 chunks? That’s rly badly priced, total mismatch. For that price I’d expect a bigger portion for sure or at least some better sides to go with it.
The food was nice but not particularly a level above any of the other Turkish restaurants in the city. I do feel like you can get better quality for money in other places.
Very small restaurant which gives it charm but also means that service is unfortunately way too slow. There’s only 1 chef working and he has to get all those orders out, it’s not really doable when the restaurant is full. Our order took around 45 minutes to be served.
They also didn’t have what I originally ordered which is a staple at any Turkish restaurant, the Adana. It took them about 25 minutes to let me know that it was no longer available, not ideal. They weren’t very accommodating to the fact I now had to order something I honestly didn’t particularly want but since it had taken them so long to let me know I couldn’t exactly leave either.

Sat in the cold as the door is permanently opening with people coming in to collect takeaways-they then end up queuing the length of the restaurant whilst waiting so literally they are stood over you while you are eating. Priority seemed to be given to takeaway orders resulting in long wait in restaurant. The people on the table behind us actually walked out after waiting even longer than we did. Management need to decide whether to make this a restaurant or a takeaway-they are not not equipped to do both. Food was good but won’t...
Read moreMy first visit here with family for a birthday celebration, Staff were very friendly and helpful.. On arrival at the grill, the smell of the food hits you and makes you hungry to start. As it's an open grill, you can see and watch your food being prepared for cooking.. It's also quite a small restaurant, but that adds to its charm. The food was delicious and prepared traditional Turkish style. We all had a variety from the menu and it was all very good. Its not cheap but I wouldn't say overpriced either given the quality of food & service.. My only 3 star for atmosphere was due to the main door not shutting properly and it was cold inside, so we all mainly had our coats over our legs shoulders...
