Big thumbs up to Istanbul. The food was outstanding, beautiful flavours. Reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back soon. 10/10 for a great service by all. 🇹🇷 Update * We went for Sunday Dinner and we were very impressed. Lamb was cooked to perfection, all the trimmings were too and all very tasty. Highly recommended 👌 (Photos are from two separate occasions.)
We went here yesterday evening as we are visiting the area. We were looking for somewhere to eat, so thought we would try here. We were very impressed with the food, it was delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive, but not too attentive, they got it just right. When we are up this way again, we will definitely return.
Table of 5 for Boxing Day for my fiancés birthday. This restaurant was outstanding on so many fronts! Their food to start with was some of the best Turkish food we have ever had! The service was genuinely over & above & we could not of left happier! Thank you for making a special occasion perfect! Very happy & will most certainly be back!
We came here twice during our holiday, and every visit was unforgettable. The food was incredible — the shish and lule kebabs were the best we’ve ever tried and the baklava was outstanding. The service was warm and welcoming, and we truly felt cared for. We were only in the area for a short time, but if we ever return, this will be the first place we visit. Thank you for one of the best dining experiences of our lives! Ukranians from Lincolnshire ❤️ P.S. Bainland lodges in Woodhall Spa in case you would like to visit our area. Anna, Andrii and Roman
A real gem of a place! Excellent food, welcoming, friendly and attentive staff, great service throughout. Could not fault this place. Lovely starters with complimentary dips. Main courses were generous and perfectly cooked and presented. All reasonably priced. Can highly recommend.
