Great experience, the food was great and the staff were helpful. The sun was in my eyes a bit but not an issue really. I recommended

Have visited this place many times over the years. Usually for dinner, this time I was just passing at lunch time and decided to pop in for something to eat. On the entrance side its a takeaway and and the right hand side its a restaurant with table service. I ordered one of my old favourites the Adana Kebab, the service and food were spot on. The restaurant became quite busy while I was sitting there with bookings and walk in customers. Good to see this place is thriving .

The food is great here! We used to love coming here for the great food and it was very cheap. The restaurant has gotten more fancy recently which has reflected in the prices. It is still reasonable though. We often get the Istanbul mixed special (pictured) which is a starter of mixed cold meze and then a sharing platter with meats chips and rice with salad. Would recommend! We have also had the meal for two, which is also great value.

Visited for the first time tonight, and it definitely won’t be the last visit. Service was outstanding. The lady whose name I did not get was absolutely lovely, and the Chicken Doner with chips was delicious. Very nice.

Friendly experience, the food was great and a pretty good price, thats usually only earlier in the day when they have their meals available on the menu. However, they were kind enough to offer me the same price after I made the mistake of misreading the menu. The service was definitely friendly, and welcoming. Food was pretty good too, though I wish I didn’t pick the falafel wrap, as they had plenty of even better options that I missed out on. Overall, really good. Only thing I might think to improve on would be the seating, but either way it was still amazing.
