“ We don’t go out to eat very often, but when we do we like to find little gems in a sea of chain restaurants. It is safe to say that this restaurant is phenomenal! We had a lovely experience with service, the food, and the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and decorated modestly but in a way that you knew it was loved and cherished. The food from what we could tell was prepared by one person in the kitchen, and front of house was all by one person as well. The food, I’ve never experienced anything like it. Gorgeous Mediterranean cuisine prepared by people who are clearly passionate and knowledgeable of their culture, it’s what makes eating at places like this so special. For 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 drinks and 2 desserts, it came to a total of 70 which if you ask me is absolutely insane value for money! But honestly don’t just take my word for it, please go!!!! ”

“ Took my parents here for their first Turkish meal. The service was lovely and friendly, the food was very tasty (and the set menu was a huge amount of food!) and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Plus trying Turkish wine for the first time was good too. Will be back! ”
