Since it was such a lovely day we sat out on the roof terrace, which was gorgeous.
We got the 8 plate meze, which is a perfect sharing platter for two people. It fills you up exactly enough.
I believe this platter changes but on the day we came the platter gave a range of different dips and food to try, all with pitta and garlicky yoghurt.
The mango smoothie was delicious and refreshing.
The waiting staff who served us were very pleasant and we didn’t feel rushed at all.
The food itself felt fresh and was very tasty.
Overall, a great experience and taste journey.
I would have to recommend to anyone!

Relaxed evening meal 3/9/2024. Found previous reviews helpful - lovely, friendly Staff checked we had plenty of time to go for the ‘Feast’ [ like Meze style]. Delicious, interesting meal. Want to visit again. Air con. Basic, relaxed premises. 👏👍

This place is a four to five star contender with lovely food and a great atmosphere, although I didn’t like everything I tasted. However the staff was a bit pushy directing us towards the most expensive option - the feast. Also, on a quiet Wednesday night, they took a deposit for four people. When one of our party couldn’t make it, they refused to refund his £5 share. I’d totally get it if the place had been full. But as it was, they had empty table and incurred no loss. It was a jarring end to an otherwise pleasant evening.

went today with my boyfriend and his brother! really enjoyed it, we did the sharing platter! Loved two of the dishes but the other ones where really under seasoned and quite bland; From this i would probably pick out food instead of going for the sharing. Besides the under seasoned food, you get so much and you’ll be leaving very full! The drinks are amazing, really recommend the smoothies and amazing prices!
The staff where okay, we arrived and the service was great at the start but then became very slow and felt like we had been forgotten about.My boyfriend and his brother both work in hospitality and weren’t happy with the way we where being treated; We had to call over two times, while they all stood behind the bar watching everyone when our table had no space. When it came to paying we asked to remove service charge as we felt it was very poor being left for 40 minutes. The lady was quite hostile about us removing this, we explained why and she just spoke back to us.
The atmosphere is lovely and the restraunt and shop is beautiful!!
Would return but to get single items and hope for better service!

This restaurant was recommended by a friend and OMG, were they right? Yes!
I went there mid week without booking, little I knew it’s super popular. Luckily, we got a table between other bookings.
I had high expectations and these were exceeded.
Prices are so reasonable and probably cheap for the portions. Quality price is unmatched!
Gutted I didn’t have time for the dessert!
Book a table before visiting.
