    It was a little overpriced for what it is. Food was all nice but nothing very special. The pacing of the food out of the kitchen was all at one time so it was a little overwhelming and meant your were rushing as it was all getting cold

    Booked under the counter. Turned up to be told we had been moved to the counter. Frankly not acceptable, we should have been called. Not the experience we wanted and I would have gone elsewhere. No apology. Food was mediocre, much better Turkish food elsewhere. Extremely loud, could not hear my partner over the table. Server was great… but will not be going back
