First time I went with my partner and had breakfast the quality of the food was ok but not worth the price. The service and the overall atmosphere weren't great either, e.g. drinks arrived at random times with no explanation, and nobody asked us whether everything was ok or if we wanted anything else.Second time took the extended family out 6 people in total . Although it was a Saturday, the inside of the restaurant was half empty, so we got seated straight away. Our table ordered both hot and cold drinks, and food. The cold drinks arrived very quickly, however that was all that we were given. After a while, I tried to catch the wait staff's eye to ask whether it would be much longer but this proved to be very difficult and I felt ignored. I observed another table being given their coffees and food almost straight away while our table was left completely unattended. Over an hour ! after we had ordered, I approached one of the wait staff. He was very rude and simply said it was very busy it wasn't . I explained that we had waited for too long and it wasn't acceptable. He soon came back with a random selection of hot drinks some of which we hadn't ordered and others didn't come at all. There was no apology nor attempt to rectify this, so I decided to cancel the food who knows how much longer it would have been and ordered the bill. Throughout all of this the wait staff were unbelievably rude, rolling their eyes and not making any eye contact. Needless to say I will not be returning. This place seems to rely on their good location and think they need to pay no attention to the customer experience. Very, very disappointing and puts Broadway Market to shame.

Sorry Solche but unless you up your game we won't be coming back.

Then the second night which was our last night in London, we were blown away. My girlfriend was literally in tears of happiness while eating the meal (we had the mixed meze, margarita pizza and izgara grilled lamb) and the manager recommend us places to go in Turkey (which we followed) and surprised us with complimentary Turkish coffees to finish. We walked out beaming, it was better than any of the Turkish food we had in Turkey.
