Great food, great service. Had the chicken and rice, and the meat was cooked really, really well. Was genuinely delicious, and filling. Highly recommend! Food came pretty quick too which was a bonus.

Had a lovely dinner on an extraordinary hot evening. I had Calamari main, and my daughter had chicken and Halluomi salad. Both delicious, and good portion sizes. The service here is what always bring me back. Vicki was attentive, and made my evening really nice. Thanks Vicky

We had a great mid-week bottomless mezze lunch at the Gem! The service was fantastic and the food was perfect, we couldn't fault anything! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to others. Such good value for money also.

A few years ago I gave 5-star to Gem but I had to remove one this time. The staff is very friendly and the food good but we had to wait for ages for our meal which was frustrating. The restaurant was not particularly busy.

Had a great time, and the food was perfect. Been to many Turkish restaurants and this place is a GEM indeed. Will come back again

Gem saved me on an incredibly hot day. Staying in a friends flat and having picked up my supper from Tesco I discovered that the oven didn’t work. Gem provided a delicious pork souvlaki to take away. I had been teaching all day and thought I had no appetite but should still eat. After the first bite my appetite started raging and I ate every last bit. The restaurant is lovely inside and it feels both romantic and family friendly - a rare thing. Do go!

One of the best places around! Everything including rice tastes splendid. Definitely worth checking out if in the area.

Dropped in on a whim with my daughter on the way at to a concert, as a newly diagnosed coeliac eating out can be a minefield , but the menu is clearly marked and the staff were very helpful even got cucumber for the hummus
Very impressed with the food too A+

Wow, I celebrated a milestone there last night, where do I start. The atmosphere, the service, the quality of the food, everything was first class. Got a special birthday song at the end of the night too. If I could would give more than 6 stars. The Octopus was chargrilled to perfection. Will be back in a heartbeat. Make sure you get down there x
