8 of us went for dinner and ordered the platter for 4. every item including the meze was absolutely perfect. food was cooked to perfection and the portions were huge which was excellent. high quality food. service was good but we were left for long periods of time and had to keep asking when we needed something like extra drinks etc, but was it was a saturday night and busy, just needed a little more attentiveness, but they were happy to help each time. can’t wait to return☺️
Lovely staff and atmosphere. some great points on the food, but unable to eat nearly half my lamb shish as it was predominantly fat and gristle. the chicken was really well cooked and moist though. the salad tasted a little old and lifeless but the rice made up for some of the low points on the dish. great potential and wil happily eat here again. will get just a chicken shish this time and avoid any lamb for now. 5* for the ayran they make in house though!
Probably one of the best restaurants i'vd been to in my lifetime in the uk, really good and tasty food, authentic dishes and great hospitality. they take care of their customers, they manage orders really well
The food was delicious when it arrived and well presented. the staff were quite young and not very well presentable. the girls mostly had their hair loose and they spoke quite abruptly to customers when taking orders. so for example if someone asked for chips instead of rice you were told outright no and that you would have to pay extra. i remember when it first opened. not many customers at first bit we still returned week after week as they were so pleasant and it reminded us of the real instanbul after we visited. i'm not sure if it is under new management but when we were there it wasnt very customer friendly. drying cutlery and dropping it in the holders making loads of noise as people are chatting and dining, the girls laughing and chatting loudly amongst themselves. it used to be such a friendly place. such a shame it's so over priced now too.
Me and my friends had a lovely meal here, i had the chicken kofte wrap with chips and it only cost me £11, really nice wrap and huge portions! there is something for everyone on the menu, lots of veggie options as well as huge meat platters. a hidden gem offering tasty authentic turkish food.
