The food was really nice, juicy and full of flavour. The service was pretty good too, it was a shame they run out of Effes draft, but we were offered Efes bottle instead, which was fine. The decor looked a little tired, I usually dine here when the lighting was more subtle, so it could be that. The toilets could do with a little brush up too. Otherwise, it was a nice experience again and I will be back!

The food was delicious, though beware the meze for two (5 cold hors d’ouevre) - really good, but likely to leave you with too little room for your main course! Service was friendly and efficient.

We were the first booking of the evening which was as well since just one waitress! She didn’t offer very good service at all, especially when 3 other tables were seated. Very good food at a very reasonable price; shame they only had 4 desserts in stock from a menu of 12/16. Full set price menu still charged so i’m afraid there was no top. Will return to experience a different day of the week.

We were unimpressed from the start, the decor was very tatty, we were sitting on a ripped seat with large holes and the foam underneath coming through, not very comfortable or attractive. The food portions were reasonably large and the meat well cooked but the vegetarian stuffed peppers were far too salty and sloppy. The waitress was friendly, the only plus. A major downside was how the whole restaurant filled with smoke from the kitchen grills. After a while it made our eyes sting and our clothes and hair smelt so bad when we left to go home we had to put everything in the washing machine straight away and all of us had to jump in the shower at 11pm just to try and get rid of the smell which was definitely not a pleasant reminder of our meal! Even the car still smelt the next day! I'm all for authentic cooking but the ventilation needs looking at! The wine wasn't great, no substance and totally overpriced. To top it all off we could only pay cash so it was lucky there is a cashpoint right next door to the restaurant or we wouldn't have been able to pay. We couldn't have complained even if we'd wanted to as getting the attention of a waitress was impossible and it was a special occasion with friends so we didn't want to spoil it for them and to be honest, we just wanted to leave. All in all we didn't have a very good night and sadly won't be returning.

Amazing food with top quality service - the only mistake that was made was that they had accidentally served gluten to my mum, who is a caeliac. They quickly rectified the problem, however!

Good food and service. Small venue and pretty busy so best to book in advance. Bit annoying they don't take credit cards. Nice ambience. Belly dancer provided some entertainment. Overall good evening with family.

Nice food but nothing outstanding. Very busy but the food was good value for money, I felt the whole service was a little rushed.No offer of a chance to see the desert menu.Not that I particularly wanted a dessert, but if I had been shown the menu I may well have as I was thinking about having dessert.

Food wad good and reasonably priced. Not pleased when told after the meal that payment was required in cash. Had to go to ATM around the corner to get cash. What a disappointing end to a lovely evening. Although I enjoy the food there I won't be going back in a hurry.

Great food and efficient friendly service. Cash only payments could be a problem for some. But with 2 cash machines nearby not really an issue.
