The food wasn’t the best, the octopus was tough, they mixed the lamb with the chicken and potatoes and l don’t like lamb so it ruined the flavour of the other food, the baclava, which l love, was soft and soggy, the food was so salty l was drinking lemon water for the remainder of the night. The service is impeccable however unfortunately l was disappointed with the food.
