Food was seriously amazing. The manager is super friendly and recommended right dishes to us, we had the 1 .5 meter mix grill platter which we tried to eat between 8 of us and failed miserably. So much food, so good, so fresh, can't wait to come back here. One of the best I've had in a long while

Great Turkish food.. Caty was exceptional in her service. I would suggest a revamp of the place, as the food is so good just needs a nicer setting.

For a very long time I was on a hunt for authentic Turkish restaurant and found this one. The food was presented well and it was tasty too but I think I have this same opinion about all the mix grills from other restaurants too. Next time I think I should try something more specific to Turkish cuisine from here.

This restaurant offers delicious Arabic cuisine. The taste is amazing! They have a chicken burger, which features grilled chicken and cheese, stuffed with fries and garlic paste—it's out of this world! You have to try it at least once; dining in is highly recommended. Their shawarma is also excellent.
