Slick contemporary decor in restaurant offering modern Turkish cuisine

Excellent vibe and atmosphere! The location is tucked away on a quiet road out of the hustle and bustle. I booked a table for the start of a sophisticated hen party - we didn’t have balloons of decorations etc so I can’t comment on if the restaurant allows them.

The decor is absolutely stunning with a modern, relaxing environment with fabulous lighting. Perfect for creating the perfect mood.  The staff were very accommodating with our requests - we were running late for the next part of the night and they bought our food out quickly whilst keeping the presentation on point.

The food was absolutely delicious, to start o had the Turkish sausage which isn’t too spicy but full of flavour. I then had the lamb chops (3 fair sized chops) which were cooked to perfection. Melt in the mouth meat and outstanding flavours. I ordered a side of bulgur which was cooked/looked different to other Turkish restaurants I’ve had but tasted soo good.  Their cocktails were absolutely beautiful not too much ice and the alcohol you could actually taste!

There were 8 of us and the bill was just under £400 this included cocktails so its around £45-55pp obviously depending on what you order!!  I have to admit compared to other Turkish restaurants that are not as ‘fancy’ the portions are slightly small especially for the price, although it is adequate here. Just remember you are also paying for the scenery/setting.

Perfect for date night or night out with friends. I don’t recommend this for families of young children. 9/10 just because it’s a tad pricey compared to other restaurants for the amount of food.

The interior was modern and slick. Everything I was able to see (furniture, tableware, architecture, etc…) was of contemporary design. However, I wasn’t able to see any uniqueness of this restaurant. Nothing inside this restaurant or even the music gave a hint of me being in a Turkish restaurant except for the food menu.

Regarding the food, the portion sizes for the mezzes/starters were too small. We ordered the hummus, the Turkish chorizo (sucuk), and red lentil soup, which were very delicious! Yet, when looking at the set prices, I personally found it difficult to justify value for money given the portions. Perhaps of the location but that’s just my guess. In any case, a bigger portion size would make a difference.

As for the main, I found it interesting to see Lamb Tagine on a Turkish menu but did order it because it was recommended. Tagine is actually a traditional Moroccan dish cooked in a tagine pot and can also appear in various countries in the Maghreb (North Africa). In terms of taste, I quite enjoyed how the meat was prepared and the taste was spot on but at the same time found the dish way too oily. In addition, I found it odd that rice was served with it because tagine is never served with/over rice. Generally, the side dishes to a tagine is always khobz (bread) and a variety of salads e.g. carrot, cucumber & tomato, cured olives, etc. It can either be a single salad or half a dozen.

The service was perfect! The members of staff were attentive, friendly and professional.

Recommended. Stylish Turkish restaurant in financial district. Reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly service, clean facilities.
Tip: try the Iskender mixed grill!

Well, where do I start... I visited very recently on a weekday with another person and my experience was as per below:

1. Staff were impatient and rushing us every few minutes.
2. I found a hair in my plate.
3. Food was okay, definitely needed more seasoning, especially the Iskender. Prawns from the starter were decent though.

The experience felt rushed and I was not happy with the hair and sub par taste of the food. I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.

They were so understanding about my diet and, my allergies that I’ve suggested a change in my dish. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the bathroom need to be more hygienic the smell was horrifying.
