The best restaurant in every aspect. A bit pricy but you seriously get your money’s worth! Great for a regular lunch/dinner and also for special occasions, party etc

Food was excellent. The mix platter is a must try. Rice has soaked up all the juices and meat which was very flavorful.

Went for iftar , service was efficient and attentive all food arrived right on time . Generous portion size soup was full of lamb definitely recommend!

Grill section offers great food. We tries lamb shish, lamb ribs and mixed platter. Red meat food was perfect but the chicken in the mixed platter which was chicken shish and wing was not tasty. The Adena kebab was great! We also ordered Ayran as a drink which was good. Before serving the food they will bring a salad, fresh bread and yogurt mixed with cucumbers on the house to every table which a great starter. BUT the rice is really bad! Really!! We didn’t order any, it was on the plate as a side. The first time that we went there staff was not that friendly, I am assuming because it was kinda late and they were tired because the second time that we went there they were good and friendly. There is also parking space available. I just didn’t like the atmosphere that much, not the restaurant’s fault, people were really load ! I couldn’t hear my husband talking to me and he was just sitting in front of me ! We went there on a Friday night.

We went for iftar the food was good and service was great I would recommend it.

Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious. Loads of staff so service was inevitably great. It was lunchtime on a Monday, so very few tables. I had a table by the window on the ground floor. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.

Bit expensive than your traditional Turkish restaurants but it’s definitely worth it! Service was great, seating comfortable, table big enough without feeling crowded. The food was beautiful, the flavours were on point and the portions are huge. Meats cooked to perfection. Had a lovely meal. Highly recommended

Was a bit noisy on Saturday night, but food / service was amazing! We were warm welcomed to sign even thinking it was super busy there, but waiters found a great table for us. As starter they brought bread, tatziki, and salad free of charge. Was delicious. Food was really great! Parking a bit small for this size of place but there is paid alternative option. In general it’s a great chain. Will recommend it!
