• "For dessert we ordered Baklava (Pistachio and walnut) and it was just so dry."

• "The staff were atrocious and definitely ruined the meal for us."
• "The food was wonderful but the waitress was almost unpolite with us."
• "I won’t be going back, the staff weren’t attentive and I didn’t feel like it was worth the money."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "Liman has only recently reopened after refurbishment. The new decor and layout is first class giving more space for customers."
• "I loved the interior design with the modern choice of pink chairs and glasses on wooden tables. It's very stylish yet it feels cosy at the same time."
• "The ambiance is fantastic."
• "The place is very clean and nicely decorated with plenty of fresh flowers."
• "First and foremost, the place is cozy."
• "On entry, the restaurant is well decorated and has a pleasant purple hue."
• "The decor is calming, the music is chilled and the staff are pleasant."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the place has lost all of its charme."
• "The decor had changed from something truly humble and warm and welcoming to something bland with no character."
• "The actual setting that lacks atmosphere and is too modern for my taste."
• "The interior is weird, it is very pricy compared to other Turkish places in Angel and unhygienic."
• "I'm also not quite sure about the safety implications of having a chair at the top of stairway to the cellar."
• "My 2 stars for atmosphere is because we were seated next to the toilets and we had a large group of children seated next to us who were screaming and shouting throughout our meal."
• "The only issue with this (small) restaurant is they really pack the tables in, it feels a little cramped and conversation with friends was a little strained as a result."
