Cons:

• "Food was not great, service was slow, the complementary bread was not fresh."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "I had one of the best mixed grill in my life seriously."
• "Had very tasty food, I ordered their mixed grill and salad and enjoyed every bit!"
• "The food was nice, tasted home made and healthy."
• "Food wise was tasty also."
• "The chicken iskender for the main course was absolutely delicious."
• "Chicken shish tapas were juicy and cooked through!"
• "The Iskender kebab stole the show with its tender meat, perfectly balanced flavors, and delightful yogurt sauce."

Cons:

• "The bun was soggy, the meat had zero seasoning and zero taste."
• "The food was mediocre."
• "But in the second drink, I found two different insects again 😂😂😂😂😂😂."
• "Nothing close to real Turkish cuisine. The chicken kebab was dry and plate fried, like in those venues where they only serve breakfast."
• "The food was pricey, a little bland and very overcooked."
• "They served us a soup which was just water rather then soup. The bread was rotten, old."
• "Stuffed courgettes were totally bland (probably industrial frozen food and tomato sauce from a can)."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Compared to the eateries surrounding, the place is quite affordable."
• "Reasonably priced and exceeded expectations based on previous reviews."
• "You can expect a reasonable bill at the end of dinner."
• "A very good value for money if you order from their set menu or use a 'Taste Card'."
• "The food is fresh and very tasty!"
• "The dishes were wonderful with unrepeatable taste."
• "The food is delicious, and the service is impeccable as always."

Cons:

• "Ridiculously expensive, the staff seem to have been plucked from some remote Anatolian village."
• "Everything was so overpriced, it was not what you would certainly call value for money."
• "Portions were on the small side and prices high but I guess that reflects the setting."
• "The food was utterly mediocre at best, and seriously overpriced."
• "£40 for two tapas dishes from the tapas menu, served on side plates, with room to spare, one half pint of lager and a coke!"
• "We paid £5.75 for two pieces of Filo Pastry and a further £5.75 for 3 pieces of Hallumi."
• "A shared platter and 4 mains with soft drinks cost £112 with service included, which wasn't great either."
