We celebrated my partners birthday here with a small group of friends, the staff were all wonderful and friendly. The food is absolutely amazing and cooked perfectly. I tried four different cocktails and all were lovely. We sat in the fire pit room which was beautiful and kept us warm through the evening, its perfect for a special occasion. Will definitely return in the future.
Wonderful restaurant with an amazing interior, we sat on the terrace and it was beautiful, staff where wonderful and attentive and the food was fantastic, we ate from the set menu which is two courses for £19.95 and had plenty of choices.
Absolutely amazing tasty food, the cocktails are outstanding. The staff are very lovely and friendly with most staff smiling which makes it better especially for customers too have cheerful staff. Staff go above and beyond couldn’t recommend this place enough.
The mixed grill with bulgar wheat (I think) was nice, as was the lamb Pide. Although the Tzatziki without cucumber in it isn't Tzatziki. Good service, had seats available.
Had a date night here on a Saturday and thought the food was delicious! Service was great and portions were pretty good too. The sea bass and calamari were the best dishes we had. It’s worth noting that they prefer cash and there is a cash machine a few minutes down the road. Decor is great and seems like a lovely busy family restaurant.
