"One of the best Turkish restaurants in England, amazing grill, Food great especially cold and hot starters very tasty."
Cons:
"Had a meal there tonight with my grandchildren, food was average and they charge London prices?"
"The food wasnt all that and the meat was so hard like a rock."
"Ordered a chicken shish and mixed sish to be trueful it was very average when arrived the chicken and lamb literally had no taste because lack of seasoning."
"Prawns starter was lovely. Scallops starter was drenched in oil and sitting on such a big bed of rocket we couldn't eat it."
"The portions were tiny, the rice was awful & sticky, It really wasn’t worth the money."

"The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious and the portions are generous."
Cons:
"Service was attentive but not over the top and the pricing was inexpensive."
"Service, food, staff presentation couldn't ask for anything better."
"Service was awful, not accommodating at all. Would not adjust the menu for a 14 year old."
"Nice food and reasonably priced, however our interactions with our waiter left a lot to be desired, with off-hand comments, no guidance regarding the menu."
"Service was not so good. Restaurant was empty but attention to us was lacking. Watching my food sit on the pass is extremely frustrating."
Ambience and Atmosphere
Pros:
"There was a lovely atmosphere and not a single empty seat by the time we left, and this was mid week!"
"A totally lovely experience. Nice decor throughout. Clean and comfortable."
"Loved it here. Had a table on the first floor. The food was amazing. So much of it too, we couldn't eat it all! The staff were super friendly and the service amazing."
"Lovely restaurant with a fantastic ambience. Great for date night."
"Very nice restaurant good lunch at reasonable price although I thought the outside menu had a lower price on it than we were charged."
Cons:
"Place itself looks quite impressive, it's clean and with a good atmosphere (Only the music was quite random, it would definitely be better to hear some more traditional turkish/ Mediterranean vibes)."
"Food was great as usual, but the noise levels were so high we had to shout at each other on our table just to have a conversation."
"The only thing we were unhappy about was the table, as it was next to a very dangerous iron shelf that could have seriously hurt my girlfriend's head."
"Greeted by a hostess with no mask?? No sign of track and trace?? Staff wearing no masks or wore under their chins??"
"This restaurant isn't a normal Turkish restaurant.. and old men chatting to young women in flirty manner."
Value for Money
Pros:
"£47 for 2 people, great food, great service, AND 2 glasses of wine each, plus service charge! Very reasonably priced"
"Great find. Went to Spark and had their lunch menu. The chicken Shish and slow cooked lamb were lovely. Two course meal for £13.45. Excellent value for really tasty food."
"Had a wonderful lunch with family yesterday 🤩 Food is superb and nothing is too much trouble. The Lunch menu offer makes dining out much more accessible."
"Great atmosphere, good food, value for money, we had the meal for two and had plenty left over which they boxed up for us to take away, first class service."
"£10 lunch menu very good value and plenty of choice....seemed to a bit rushed only just finished starter and main was served other than that brilliant for lunch."
Cons:
"My husband ordered a 500ml Coke (as two size options on menu) a waiter brought a small bottle. It was returned in a glass with ice rather than the bigger size."
"Had a meal there tonight with my grandchildren, food was average and they charge London prices? £4.50 small Coke £4.50 orange ?"
"The only criticism was the service, which was hit-and-miss. The first waiter didn't stop to hear my request for tap water and brought a bottle of still after the food had arrived."
"Food was lovely, service and staff no so, 20 minit wait for drinks which isn’t the best when you have the table booked for a certain time then told you have 10 minutes to drink your drinks before you have to leave."
"I have not dined in this restaurant but i did place an order with them and it will be the last. I called up this place and they told me to order through Justeat which i did and it wasn't a small order."
