    The food was very good except for one dish: the squid. It was extremely tough, but quite flavoursome. Dips were excellent. The main problem was the noise level, caused by the very high amplification of the vocalist. Hard to make yourself heard in your group. However, we were there on a Friday, and I understand that live music is only Friday and Saturday. So, recommended on Friday and Saturday only if you like a high noise level. I suggest any other night of the week and you will have a most enjoyable time.

    The restaurant has live music Friday and Saturday nights. It is not explicitly communicated anywhere (not on the website, nor when booking), but you HAVE to purchase a set menu ($65pp). The set menu suggests the option is only mandatory for groups of 7+ but this is not the case. Nonetheless, great ambient atmosphere.

    We are visiting Melbourne from Auckland, NZ. The food was superb. The waiter had recommended “Beyti” which was amazing.

    Food was very tasty and the vibe was so energetic. Best part was when people started s Dancing. The owner Ali was checking in on everyone too

    Atay was a great host and the food was superb and plentiful. If your feeling hungry and don't want to spend a fortune go and see Atay and his wonderful chef, they will look after you.

    Looks like this place just opened. It had a lively vibe but the wines were super sweet and the whiting was tough and over cooked. Prawns were great though! Wanted to love it but a bit disappointed. It may improve as they find their feet
