All staff were really nice. Something that sadly stands it apart now in a culture of glaring lack of customer care and poor attitudes. So thank you everyone for your beautiful warmth and friendliness. It was very much appreciated in such a hostile city and restored our faith

No bread, salad or dips or given to start, most other places give this as standard, while you wait. Bread came with the was burnt, no decent salad, slices of thick carrots on the edge of a sad looking salad, on a small plate. We ordered a £60 platter, meant four people, it came with just wings, ribs, one each skewer of chicken lamb shish. The lamb shish cubes were tiny. This place cuts corners everywhere. I ordered a seabass, it came with a sprinkling of wilted lettuce, I called the waitress over, to draw her attention to this, I asked if this is meant to be the salad,,she replied yes , then said she 'd call someone. We had the same experience on new years eve. We were also rushed, as food took ages to arrive as well. I felt sorry for the male waiter with the glasses. He tried his best after taking over from the lady, because we raised so many issues. Will certainly not be going here again, there are loads of other Qualuty Turkish restaurants just down the road, where you 'll get your monies worth on the platter, as it will also include, chicken lamb doner, köfte and two types of rice. Only those who are inexperienced with Turkish dining would find this place amazing. There 's much better place down the road. I hope the admin from Testi do not attempt a response, because when we asked for the manager that night, they refused to come and put the poor chap instead.

The only other Turkish place that does it has sadly gone out of business so this is the only remaining restaurant that has this incredible bread. The side salads that comes with mains are also very unique. Quite a special and extraordinary place. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. On top of it all, great atmosphere.

From the stunning decor to the delicious catering, every single detail was perfect. She was not only extremely professional, but also warm, friendly, and approachable — which made the entire process stress-free, smooth and enjoyable. Eda truly went above and beyond to create a joyful, welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. Everyone kept complimenting the setup and the food!
