A delightful experience from start to finish - divine food and wonderful service from the lovely owner/chef. We think it is the best Turkish food we have ever had, and we will be back soon!
Small initimate restaurant, high quality home cooked food. Highly recommend this dining experience. Would definately go back and as not licenced you take your own choice of drink for small corkage charge.
Fantastic fresh cooked authentic Turkish food. Small intimate surroundings with good atmosphere. Excellent menu using quality meats. Mixed grill was beautiful. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Bring your own bottle arrangement - wine was put in fridge and served by staff. Highly recommended
