Excellent food, excellent service - we had a lovely evening. The food was delicious; everything had its own distinct flavour which made it particularly enjoyable. The service was attentive but low key; always there when we needed them but not overbearing. Well done to you all.
Very nice authentic Greek food, olives were especially tasty I had lamb with feta and saute potatoes mi partner had mousaka. Service was was good, from the friendly owner....... Shud have been more people in the restaurant......!!
The food is first class not too expensive great friendly staff and very quaint. The menu was varied serving fresh produce every day and they are open for lunches aswell
Always been a fan of the Turkish/Greek sort of grills and what a little gem this place is in the middle of, out of all places, Pontefract (no offense to anyone from Pontefract). It's a pretty cosy establishment, about 26 covers max, but any place of that size and a focused menu set, typically means they can focus on the quality of the dishes, and boy, tonight's meal was a joy. For anyone going for the first time, I'd definitely recommend the mixed grill as it has a full range of lamb kebab, lamb chop, adana (which btw was awesome, right lamb mince consistency with the delicate balance of herbs and spices), chicken kebab and chicken wing. Rice was flavourful and the salad refreshing with the appropriate amount of dressing. Other half has the chicken Marmanis, which was indeed tasty, white wine sauce with the mushrooms just right without being too salty or sharp. Only a slight blip was a tough tendon in her piece of chicken - something that can be easily corrected I'm sure. Baklava for dessert is home made rather than shop bought so that's a massive positive for me. All washed down with a Turkish apple tea to cleanse the pallette to end a surprising but delightful evening meal. Service was excellent and attentive, the team there are super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back and is an establishment we will bring friends and family to. A must visit. 5*. If the team are reading this? teşekkür ederim
Absolutely beautiful food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. We had the starter and main for £15 deal and its across the whole menu. Very good deal. Pics show king prawn and calamari with chilli garlic and vegetables, and lamb kleftiko with sautéed potatoes, both of which were sublime 👌. We will definitely be going again 😋
