This place is one of my favourite places for food.Ive been here multiple times over a range of occasions. And yes some things have changed slightly but the quality has not.The price is a little high. So we usually only go here for special occasions.Not much else to say apart from please visit this place.

I would give this more than 5 stars for food and service if I could. Race-week, pre-booked on a busy Friday night and the food was served quickly with generous and very tasty portions. Fresh, hot bread accompying was delicious. I had a mixed meat grill with very soft meat despite the grill-char outside. Partner had aubergine and chicken dish.

Fabulous food, served by courteous and friendly staff. The mixed grill was outstanding and our daughter highly praised her vegetarian choice. We tried the Turkish wine and weren't disappointed. Will definitely be returning.

Wow, what a culinary journey I just had at this charming Turkish restaurant in Cheltenham! From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported back to Turkey. The atmosphere was alive with the tantalizing aromas of authentic Turkish cuisine, and I couldn't wait to dive into the experience.First off, let me talk about the staff. From the friendly greeting at the door to the attentive service throughout the meal, the staff here truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their professionalism and genuine smiles added an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience.Now, let's talk about the food. Every dish we ordered was a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. The Humus Kavurma was a delightful starter, with creamy hummus perfectly complemented by tender, flavourful lamb. And don't even get me started on the Mixed Grill! Expertly seasoned to perfection.And last but not least the beverage selection here is top-notch, with a variety of options to suit every taste.As someone who has fond memories of past holidays in Turkey, I can attest that the flavors here are truly authentic. It's like taking a trip down memory lane with every bite. And for those who haven't had the pleasure of visiting Turkey, this restaurant offers a perfect introduction to the country's rich culinary heritage.Overall, dining here was an absolute delight, and I can't wait to come back for another taste of Turkey. If you're looking for a dining experience that's as memorable as it is delicious, do yourself a favor and pay this gem of a restaurant a visit. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing food! Amazing service! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with traditional lights etc..You get a very decent amount of food!Warning... don't eat too much of the free bread they bring you at the beginning if you want to fit your meal in ! (Even though it's delicious!)Will definitely be going back!

Delicious meal for New Year’s Eve. Starters excellent then we had the sharing grill. Amazing. No room for desserts but lovely coffee. Excellent service. Thank you.

The food was nice and there was a good variety of authentic Turkish dishes. The meals seemed a little unbalanced - mine was a full dish of melt-in-the-mouth lamb in oil with a sprinkle of potato pieces and a couple of slices of carrot, while my daughters was a huge dish of bean stew, enough for two people - so put together we had a much more interesting meal! I would have expected a little more attention to flavours given that this is not a cheap-eats, but each dish was nicely presented, the decor is modern with beautiful Arabian lighting and the staff are great.
