I had the adana kebab and himself had the veal it was excellent and brought back memories of my visit to Turkey many years ago. We then had the baklava (neither of us can resist this wonderful dessert) and I am delighted to say this was one of the best we have had in a long time. Sweet, sticky and full of pistachio nuts it was accompanied by slices of orange which took the edge off the sweetness and was a perfect match. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant and the young man who served us was a delight!
