Cons:

• "But rather disappointed with the food..presentation was good....one of our party was vegetarian...other than salad...very little choice....she left hungry."
• "But having the most expensive kebab (£65.00) in what can only be described as a Disney World diner, was at best underwhelming."
• "The food is Simply average! Lack of taste, presentation, sophistication. Doesn’t worth the price plus unexpected addition of 20% to the bill due to VAT."
• "Food very mediocre, the mixed grill was a cold kofte that tasted same as one from a takeaway and the Shish the same."
• "Food was not great, ordered a steak and came covered in spices and chilli flakes. Too spicy it was not edible, ruined a perfectly good piece of wagyu."
• "Where is the Turkish Cuisine… unfortunately you will leave disappointed as the food has no taste of any Turkish food just a normal food."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Fantastic food. The portion side is amazing. Slightly overpriced but guess you get what you pay for."

• "Lost 2 stars because my coke, which was flat and didn’t even come in a bottle, was £9!!!!!!!!!!"
• "Drinks at bar far too expensive."
• "Quite disappointed with my dining experience, given the steep prices for food that didn't meet expectations. Additionally, I was taken aback to discover that the menu prices did not include VAT."
• "Not worth it and not an enjoyable experience way too expensive for what it is too!"
• "One thing they do which is cheeky is not include VAT on their pricing, so if you thought the menu was expensive at first glance, add another 20% on!"
• "VERY overpriced."
