This is a really special place, I often choose to come here on my birthday or when there is something big to celebrate! It's a small middle eastern/Turkish restaurant with a cosy and intimate atmosphere. They have a huge menu with all the dishes served tapas style, and designed to share. Absolutely everything on the menu is incredibly delicious, my own personal favourites are the lamb moussaka and the baklava. It's BYOB so make sure to bring a bottle of wine or two with you - and also bring cash because very often they're not able to accept payment by card. The staff are super friendly and very helpful with food recommendations. I can't wait to return!

At a bit of a loss as to where to have dinner and my girlfriend suggested Turkish, seen as we've never had it before...So glad she did. The staff, I'm assuming the tall guy was the boss, were very attentive. Before I'd even had 2 sips of my Turkish beer (which was nice and light) our food was here?! I thought the platters that they offer would be too much, but it was just right. It wasn't scolding hot either so you could tuck right in. Between us we had the veggie and non veggie platter and loved every part of it. Great interior too to marvel at whilst you wait the whole 2 seconds for your food. £40 for two platters and 2 beers, slightly more than expected but well worth it, highly recommend this place.
