Absolutely amazing food and the service was wonderful. Staff friendly and smiling happy to be working. Also chatty. The experience was really nice. I will defiently be recommending and going back! The chef thought we waited a tad too long for our meals so we received complementary dips and bread was so nice that it was noticed we had waited without us bringing it to their attention. So happy we went there!!

Nice decor, good location, very friendly and welcoming staff, but the star of the show was the food! Incredible quality and flavours, portions slightly on the smaller side, but that’s pretty standard with high quality food. We will definitely be back!

Really authentic food and tasty. Chicken was beautifully managed and flavoured. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options chef was very accommodating to create something special for our dietary requirements.

Great ambience and amazing service. Very well looked after by staff and accommodated last minute booking. Cold & warm Mezzes and Mains are delicious and the show stopper is cold milk Baklava for dessert with Turkish coffee! Very unique and Looking forward to visiting again and try more mezzes.

LOVE THE DIPS!!I’ve been here a number of times now-always so so good!! The selection of dips are truly delicious and have a homemade taste to them-Nuraniye is my favourite! We always at least get 4 and they come in generous portions. The Hunkar Begendi as a main is my go to, as you can’t find it elsewhere and the lamb just melts in your mouth! So yummy!Without a doubt I will be going back =)

Delicious food and amazing service. I have a sever allergy to lamb which makes me sensitive to cross contamination. Even though everyone else on my table ordered lamb dishes, my chicken was perfect and I did not get sick or have any issues. Definitely would return.

The variety on the menu is great. The stand outs were the meat, zucchini fritters and dips. The rice was clumpy and the only let down. The female owner and staff were friendly. The young male waiter was polite but the waitress was a bit standoffish. Odd that the coffee service shuts down early. How can you have desserts without coffee? At least we could get Turkish coffee. The price is very reasonable. The takeways containers need to be plastic given the food served is wet.
