    We had lovely time there. For started we had the mercimek , cigara böreği & the lambs liver. For main We pre ordered the lamb leg and unfortunately we didn’t like it. My husband is Kurdish and is a lamb snob lol. He eats it couple times a week. But the restaurant were amazing. We didn’t ran a day anything but they came over ans asked if everything was ok and we told them we didn’t like the lamb said we are sorry. And they off the there own back offered us a replacement which I think is amazing as the whole leg of lamb is pre ordered. They freshly made a mixed grill for us and we got it for take away as our 2 year old twins were getting irritable and tired. So had to leave. We came all the way from Glasgow We also had 2 mocktails strawberry daiquiri & shish something. They were lovely. I would definitely go back to this restaurant. And the staff are amazing and place is beautiful inside ♥️

    This literally was an AMAZING dining experience! We were visiting Edinburgh for Christmas and wanted something relaxing for our Christmas Eve dinner. I was scrolling through Open Table, and it popped up. I was first taken by the photos of the decor. It looked very cozy and comfortable. Wow, did it not disappoint! It’s more than pizza, it’s a very cool, dining experience. Thank you to 3 Blind Mice for making our Christmas Eve something very special.
