    The restaurant is spacious and clean with a larger downstairs area to dine as well! Another good thing is they can accommodate pretty large groups, if not at one table, then spread out over a couple/few

    I rarely get to eat Turkish food due to my dairy intolerance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Everything we had was absolutely delicious and made with so much love, our lovely server recommended amazing dishes and the service was so good.also I totally recommend a cocktail called sumac Paloma, little bit spicy ,an amazing switch from the original recipe .

    This had wonderfully delicious food! Everything was seasoned and cooked well! The lamb was especially good in my opinion. However we enjoyed it all! The mezze is nice if you want some refreshing dips.The desserts were good! Very different and interesting to try so that was nice. The service was excellent. They were super attentive and made sure to give us anything we needed.

    Excellent food and a very reasonable bottle of wine. It was very quiet with not many diners but being in between Christmas and New Year that was probably inevitable. We would definitely go again.

    I tried Notting Hill Counter before and quite satisfied. Everything was right there. This restaurant is nothing close to our experience at their first restaurant. 9 personnel around us doing nothing much. “Kıbbe” on the menü was not kıbbe we have in Tırkey. What they have is “çiğköfte” As a Turkish restaurant to write the name of the food wrong is interesting. Plus we do not serve “rakı” ready with water and ice in it in Turkey. Everybody adjust it himself.

    food was delicious and service was great untill they tricked us into adding nearly £30 onto our bill. The waitress presented the card machine saying “we have added service on hope that’s ok” - which of course we accepted and paid - only to realise after it was an additional £30 to the service already added on the bill. She then held fast to the fact she had asked, but she hadn’t explained it was additional. It’s a shame as it ruined what would have been a lovely experience. Just shady, check your bill carefully
