    chicken shish was so succulent and tasty. All plates were beautifully presented. Staff were very helpful with advising me about what I could eat as I have Coeliac disease.

    Food & services was amazing as always, we had chicken shish kebabs with rice or chips & lamb chops, everything cooked to perfection. It does get quite noisy when the entertainment starts in the evening.

    We booked for my sons 21st birthday We have been before and I must say the food was better last time. It’s always cold in there as well due to the air conditioning. It was busyish and there was someone singing which I found a bit ghastly droaning in the background. It wasn’t the best this time I must admit Which was a shame

    On arrival all was well, we sat down. The table was very wobbly. I had noticed there was a menu stuck under the table to even it out. But this didn’t work. So when we was eating or leaning on the table it was constantly wobble. We ordered drinks…. Our drinks got taken to a different table which meant we waited 20 minutes for our drinks. The restaurant was freezing cold. We got our bill they charged us full price even though it was 20% off. So I had to ask the waitress to sort this matter out. She said they was so busy she had forgotten. But in all honesty it wasn’t that busy.

    I have a gluten allergy which I included in the additional information on my booking. That was a waste of time. Three times the waitress went to take our order and each time I asked what was gluten free and each time she said she would ask the kitchen. Fourth time lucky. We were also sat by the kitchen and there was barely enough room to get the serving trolley through between the tables. It also seemed as if we were being rushed so that the table could become free for the next reservation.
