Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely decor. Warm welcome. Good choice of vegetarian food. The special menu offer was slightly confusing. Which led to us over eating. Starters were most acceptable. Mains not as good, partly as the portions were large, partly because the aubergine dish was overdone. Overall a...nice meal but the confusion and unclear pricing, made it an expensive one. Good service. Excellent location.More

Coming in from the cold, the place felt warm in every way, with lovely decor. The food was great, once my friend recovered from the shock of not being able to have her long anticipated domades - apparently a supply issue with vine leaves. The...manager appeared not to be keen on smiling, but on the other hand, his colleague Kate was lovely, friendly, and helpful. We plan to return.More

Fresh and tasty meal. Service was a bit difficult since our waiter spoke no English. The dishes were good but not great I think because of catering to the local palette so not enough lemon or other stronger flavors typical of this cuisine. But overall...I would eat here again.More

First time going and was very very pleased with the food and the service was terrific! There was one young woman that just made us feel comfortable and welcome, also took the whole restaurant alone so prises to herself. Amazing food great lovely building.

Fantastic meal on Saturday 05/08/23. Stopped by on the off chance that there might be a free table, and fortunately for us there was. We greatly enjoyed the set starters, shared as a table of 4, and then chose which main courses we would like....The salmon I had was flavourful and moist, accompanied by salad & rice. The others chose dishes with chicken and lamb, all were delicious and piping hot. The home made chilli sauce was extremely spicy, but also very tasty! All the staff were very friendly, informative about the dishes, explaining each starter. Added bonus of being seated next to the kitchen and being able to watch the chef, who calmly sent out dish after dish of delicious food. The kitchen was immaculate at all times. A really lovely meal at a very reasonable price.More

I wish there was a way to rate something negative on Google. Asian woman has some serious behavioral issues and should not be working in hospitality industry. A place like this deserves to be closed and boycotted by everyone. I made a reservation for a...party of 8 for dinner booked for dinner and was carrying our 2 month old. The woman misheard and offered us a spot for 7, and when I politely asked her to make room for another table, she quite aggressively muttered to her colleague, "They're trying to tell me what to do." My wife stepped in and requested a separate table for two of us with the baby but the lady kept ignoring and mumbling. She was so unkind that despite our repeated requests, she continued to ignore the baby in our arms even though the restaurant was obviously not busy. Then she went on to say “Woh WOW! they are telling me what to do?” And this time it loud and could be heard across the hall? Now you be the judge? should you be going to a restaurant which has employees with narcissistic personality?More

Best Turkish restaurant we've ever been to. The food was fabulous, so full of flavour and perfectly cooked and presented. The staff are really friendly and the service was excellent. If you like Turkish food this is the place to go. Highly recommend.

Got in to town rather late. Tried 2 other spots and couldn’t be seated. Popped in here on a whim. They were completely packed (easy to see why), but had one table they were able to give us right away. We order the hummus and...a small feta and spinach that was fried and absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered had such great flavor. We also had the salmon and sea bass. Both were absolutely lights out. I would eat here again, and again and again…More
