    You could ask for a friendlier local restaurant. Food was spot on and I really enjoyed the mixed grill. Recommendations of Turkish beer and wine were both excellent. Vegetarians are well looked after as well - my sister was delighted. And we rounds off the evening with a great gig by Tge Sweet at the Assembly Hall across the road.

    The food was delicious, really good portion sizes too. The service was perfect, not intrusive at all; we felt able to relax and dine at our own pace.

    The service is friendly. The servings are generous. I ordered a tea after we paid the bill and they did not charge me for it.

    Lovely restaurant - first time going there. We were the only diners but the staff were charming and attentive. The food is very good - the grilled lamb was as good as I have ever had. Great evening.
