Visited this restaurant last night with a friend. We received a lovely warm welcome from staff. We had the 2 course special which was fantastic value for money. I had the Hollumi and Adana. The flavours were amazing and food well presented. We both had a great night and can’t wait for our next visit. Definitely recommend

My friend and I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The waiter was lovely and our starters arrived promptly. I highly recommend trying the lamb hummus starter, it was absolutely delicious and very tender. We decided to share the Mixed Grill, which was huge and cooked to perfection. I have been eating here for years and always enjoy the food. I can't wait to come back with my friend again. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon and delicious meal as always!

Decided to try out this restaurant for an early evening meal and we were pleasantly surprised. The early bird menu offered a variety of choices and was well worth the price. After enjoying 3 courses and coffee, we were definitely full! We especially enjoyed the filo pastry starter and the chicken shish for our main course. The baklava dessert was delicious but maybe too much for one person, sharing would have been a better option. The food was excellent and the service was good. We are wondering why we hadn't dined here before.
