Just came back from a very satisfying meal. We are regulars but this is the first time we visited after the pandemic as we mistakenly thought they were one of many unfortunately closed during. We used to order house special for two but we found the price is up a bit thanks to inflation unsurprisingly. So we switched to mixed grills 3 (no.35 in their menu) which actually worked in our favour because we are big fans of their lamb ribs and chicken wings and not bothered with anything else. The meat was as delicious and juicy as before or I would say even better. The rice is never their strong suit to be honest. It's okay but don't hold your breath. I saw other's negative reviews on delivery orders. Please don't waste your money if you can't physically visit. You can only appreciate the deliciousness when the meat is refreshly served with crispy outside and juicy inside. We also greatly appreciated the gorgeous waitress who generously offered more naan and salad. I'm not sure what new management other reviews talked about. We met the old gentleman in our visit and I *think* he is the same owner I met before the pandemic. I could be wrong as I'm not good at remembering faces though. Anyway, it's a good restaurant and we will definitely start visiting again. If the owner sees this review, please fix your website. We thought you're closed for good because of your broken website!

The best thing about this place was the service. There was one hard working lady who was working there who was running around serving everyone very quickly.The hummus and the dips were excellent. The bread was above average as well. The halloumi could be improved.We ordered a mix kebab which consisted over chicken Shish, mixed shish, and Adana. They were all fantastic. Cooked nicely with a light char on top. Not too garlicky. Served with some nice bulgar and white rice.There is a smoking area in the back outside, which was irritating until we closed the door. Otherwise, nothing that wouldn’t bring us back for more.

Been today after the renovation and now I think, new owners. They now serve alcohol. The place pretty much looks the same as before but cleaner, however their menu has changed - long story short, their prices have gone up and their portion size has gone down and no-one likes that (picture where food is served in a white plate was before renovation) (the video is when we visited today, both mixed grill, you can see the portion difference) ordered Halloumi cheese which was around £5-7 if I didn't look at my bill the girl would've over charged me £13 for this (which is equivalent to a meal) lol these mistakes cannot be happening.. before renovation used to be my regular if I want turkish cuisine,.. I don't know about that anymore..

This is a hidden gem and I can not recommend it enough. The staff were all very welcoming and made sure our experience was a good one. We went as a group of 4 friends and had the Istanbul platters, which was a very impressive feast, perfectly cooked and presented. We will definitely be going back!

A really nice, clean and authentic place for Turkish food. Very reasonably priced and generous serving, complimentary Bread, sauce, salad, tea, rice pudding and turkish delight. What else would one want. Attentive service and friendly staff. Would definitely visit again.
