    Excellent! Firstly time visit for four of us, a pre theatre gathering. Great food and staff team. We had the mixed platter of kebabs, with an adjusted version for our family member with GF//DF allergies. Most dishes are GF already and since everything is cooked fresh from scratch (we could see the grill) they could easily do one meal dairy (butter) free. This is not always an easy ask! We were in and out in just over an hour, including some classic Turkish coffee, and made it to our show at the Anvil. Next time we will make sure we have more time. Firmly on the list for family gatherings

    Had a fabulous meal here. Welcoming and attentive staff. Chicken was tender and moist and portions were just right. Lighting was a little dim for reading menus. I would have loved some Turkish music! It was really good to get fresh cutlery after the starter.

    Lots of gluten free options to choose from and small bites so for our group there was a choice for everyone. Good service.
