    Fabulous food and a lively atmosphere. Staff are all very attentive. We were visiting the area and this was the highlight. Wish I could visit more often and try more of the tasty dishes.

    Felt really rushed and under pressure to eat and go if I’m honest… was crammed up next to another table who did not get bothered one during their service. I had hardly any meat on my chicken wings but the peri sauce was amazing and the chicken shish was really good too. Had to ask for our bread before starter and our plates were taken away so we ended up having bread with the starter. Shane as normally gave a good time at this restaurant. ☹️

    I tried this for the first time on Thursday, taking advantage of their fixed price lunch menu. Wow! Delicious food & excellent value for money. Service was faultless and the restaurant itself is beautifully & sumptuously decorated. I’ll definitely be back and I’m already recommending it to my friends as the go-to Turkish restaurant in the area. 10/10 ❤️

    Staff are lovely. The fish dishes are amazing. I decided to try the falafel and hummus unfortunately it's the worst I've ever tasted. Dessert was lovely. The chef needs to work on that dish. It was dry texture and no taste. Disappointing but plentiful I should have complained they were very busy it was my friends birthday I did not want to complaim and spoil the evening. I would go back Id just stick to the mixed fish grill. Sorry for bad review.

    Fantastic food, beautiful decor. We had a great time, our meal was gorgeous ,the food was amazing! Delicious cocktails!! The only negative was the service is very rushed. Nothing sooner had we finished our starter, the main arrived. We had no time to digest the starter, we ended up getting indigestion!!
