A few recent Google reviews, quoted as written.

  1. Came in there today because those pictures on the reviews look amazing! It sold me. 1. Food was DELICIOUS! 2. Servings were GENEROUS! 3. Service was GOOD! Ate here with my dad, both of us enjoyed our dishes a lot! Had lamb chops and a 3 skewer meal ~ Beef Skewer, Chicken Skewer & Lamb Skewer (had to pay a tiny extra for the lamb skewer) the person who cooked the meal delivered it to us at the table and was very kind! The cashier gave us good advice on our options and had patience with us. They make a great team! Took us 15 mins to get our food hopefully this review helps some foodies out there, glad to the peeps who posted the pics cos that’s what got me to give this place a shot!

  2. Nice outdoor patio. Great food.

  3. Amazing food and great service. The baklava was 10/10.

  4. Very good food. Their beef kebab plate is a must try. Friendly staff.

  5. I love this place. You’ll wait about 10-15 minutes for the food but I can see why. So good and huge portions!
