"Order arrived incorrectly so I called and I was told it was my fault! Rude and extremely unhelpful people."
"The end of our dessert was ruined by the waiter who I asked to take a picture for me and my friends. He responded abruptly and told us he had other bookings and said that we had to pay and leave within a few minutes."

Value for Money
Pros:
"Good price for London as well."
"For so much to eat, it's a great price that can't compare to other Turkish restaurants."
"Value for money: 5/5."
"The prices are reasonable."
"Very reasonable in terms of price we had 2 bottles of wine some meze to share plus individual starters and mains all for £33 each including our service (table of 3)!"
"The cost can easily be less than £20, it's very affordable especially for its location!"
"2 courses for under £14 on a Saturday lunchtime in London is bargain in my eyes."
Cons:
"Great quality but very pricy Turkish restaurant."
"This place is overpriced compared to similar, better priced options close by."
"But it seemed very overpriced & nothing was 'wow let me eat more'."
"The cost! I can't find a justification for having paid £20 for the menu I had ... it was nice but not exceptional."
"The prices are on the high side (17 pounds most main dishes). But the portions are tiny."
"We were so shocked at the price of the food and drinks as this used to be a very reasonable restaurant."
"However, the prices are way too over the top."
Cleanliness
Pros:
"The food was very good we were particularly surprised that the salad was fresh, crisp and tasty for this time of night which suggested the food is cooked fresh whatever the time is."
Cons:
"Noticed the table was dirty, they had plates face down, when we turned them over they too were all dirty, dried food stains."
"The toilet facilities are disgusting you need to wear wellies as there is so much surface water."
"The salad leaves were brown around the edges."
"It was very cold in the back of the restaurant. Needs better heating than the outside heating lamps under the retractable ceiling."
