Amazing! I really liked the atmosphere there and the restaurant was presented beautifully. I liked the addition of the open lamps and I liked being able to see the chefs preparing the food. It's much bigger than it looks and it's quite spacious. It wasn't busy when I went there (around 2 o'clock) but I can imagine that it would be quite full in the evenings. The customer service was excellent and we were served quickly and efficiently. They give you olives and flatbread straight away and top it up as you go. They had a really nice Turkish tea which I had and would totally recommend. First I ordered a hot starter platter, which has various things on it including the calamari. I then went for a fish kebab which had various different fish on it including the octopus which I could have eaten just by itself. The entire thing was balanced perfectly and it was really delicious. For desert I had baklava which was also really yummy. In summary, the restaurant is great for an evening or a lunch out. It has a nice atmosphere and customer service was great.

Great service and amazing food as always. Our waiter Can, got a birthday shout out from the singer.

Great upbeat vibe on a Friday night but if you are looking for a more chill quieter vibe, mid week is a great choice.

A very fun place to visit our table of 7 was squeezed onto a table of 6 a bit of a squash but restaurant was full. We had booked in advance. Drinks order taken, took 30 minutes no soda water on tap bottles only,, table water by the glass a Jug would be nice. very difficult to find a meal for the vegan in our group. Food was tasty but small portions. Friday night there was a singer very good entertainment but very loud as a group we couldn't hear each other talk frustratingly. Table booked for 8 meal on table over an hour later. Still an enjoyable evening.

Firstly, don't be put off by the average atmosphere score. We were there on a Saturday lunchtime; only us and two other tables had customers so there was little atmosphere at that time... Not an issue though.

We were sat in the front of the restaurant in the conservatory, and it was a warm sunny October weekend so it was quite warm, but bright and pleasant all the same.

There were 5 of us and we had one of the mixed sharing platters which was very nice and plenty for four, and I had the Sucuk Sausage... Really good! If you like Merguez it's like that but fatter and made of beef. So good in fact, I've since bought my own for home.

Mains were shish, chicken, lamb, beef, mixed etc served with rice, curly fries optional (who can resist?) etc.

We had 2 baklava, which we expected to consist of a few small bitesize pieces but were in fact 2 small pizza slice sized pieces (so good) that had loads of pistachios and so sweet... With vanilla ice cream. We also had some Turkish coffee that my wife swirled around and discovered to her cost why you should never do that to Turkish coffee. It was served in very ornate cups.

Good value for money with a bottle of wine and some soft drinks thrown in. We enjoyed ourselves.

Worth a visit.

Lamb was extremely well cooked and tender. Being a non drinker I would have preferred they offered mocktails on such a large drinks menu.
