What an amazing hidden gem! I had no idea how nice this place is, nice clean decor, large spacious seating area and good service. The food was absolutely delicious and good value for money. The Hot Mezze Starter was a great choice for a starter as it came with a little bit of everything. You are served with complimentary flat bread which tasted incredible. Everything about this place was great, we will most certainly be coming again!

The complimentary flatbread was warm, crusty and went well with the dips. We ordered the hot starters set and was impressed by the quality of the food. The Moussaka was rich and flavourful and one of the best we’ve eaten. The octopus casserole was flavourful and cooked al dente, which went very well with the lovely chickpea rice. Will definitely be back again!

It's a new place so was rather quiet during our visit. Waiting staff was very attentive but also not intrusive. After we ordered , we received 3 baskets of Turkish flat bread which was quite a substantial amount considering there was 6 of us. We also received some roasted onions which were marinated. Despite then looking like being straight from the grill they were actually cold yet really tasty (I personally don't like onions though but this was a positive surprise). The two sauces, one garlic and one spicy, mixed really well with the flat bread. Not long after our food arrived. 2x lamb beyti 1x chicken beyti 1x lamb moussaka 1x falafel 1x chicken shish Alongside that plates of fresh mixed salad to share I have ordered lamb beyti and tried the chicken beyity. Lamb was excellent, cooked medium (slightly pink'ish). The only thing I would improve was thay it came warm rather than hot. UPDATE. it appears this meal is served warm as other meals were hot The chicken version of the meal was also very good but I preferred the more intense flavour of lamb . Not sure about all the other meals but everyone was more than impressed with the food and we all agreed this is the place to come back to. After we finished our meals we were served Turkish tea and some Turkish sweets (on the house). The bill in total included a service fee of 12.5% which is great as you don't have to worry if what you left is enough or not . Pros + Great attentive service + Tasty food + Portion sizes + Reasonable prices Middle +/- service charge of 12.5% included Cons - alcohol was on the expensive side (no surprise there ) It is a definite "I would come back here" especially as there is no other restaurant of this type. PS the restaurant serves kebabs but they aren't anything remotely similar to what is served in your local takeaways :)
