C hristmas lunch booked well in advance. Told several times of 2hour slot including on the menu. Reminded on arrival and two more times throughout (we actually left with 30 mins to spare so probs next year you’ll get an hour and a half. Appetisers arrived before my youngest son who was actually in time , service super rushed with next course arriving immediately after we’d finished one. Singer on and was so loud throughout we couldn’t have a chat. Waiters eyeballing constantly so they could sweep away finished dishes. Bill didn’t have deposit removed and also added surcharge (menu said groups of 8 or more) but by this point I couldn’t be bothered mentioning I wanted to get home. Felt like a school dinner service but with a price tag of around £300. Dreadful, wont go back.

Service an absolute joke. Used to be my favourite restaurant but came here for Christmas Day with family. Table was at 1pm and by 1:15 we’d been told 3 times the table was for 2 hours only. Slight alteration to the lamb and hummus was not catered to, waiter said “it can only come as it is on the menu” funny that you can’t not put the hot lamb on the hummus? Throughout our meal the staff were eagerly watching to see if we’d finished and were on track to leave. Funnily enough, we finished and left 25 minutes earlier than the allotted 2 hours. The food was good, but definitely won’t be returning as this is a joke considering the price you pay.

A group of five dined on a Thursday evening. Atmosphere, service and food were very good. I had baba ganoush followed by the lamb fillet which I couldn’t fault, others had lamb sizzler, veggie mixed meze, again faultless. Will definitely return in 2024!

We were there for a family birthday, with six people in the party. The table allocated was a crescent shaped booth type area, for what I would say would comfortably seat four people. So five were squashed in, and a chair added to make six. Servers were very quick and very attentive. Four of the party ordered starters and they arrived within maybe 3 4 minutes after ordering, so everything is pre prepared in the kitchen. My main meal was mixed fish. The potatoes were lukewarm at best and were replaced hot potatoes after I spoke to the server. The prawns were nice, but the halibut and swordfish were dry and unappetising. I didn't mention this to the staff, because I didn't want to complain and embarrass the rest of the table. Anyway, it would have been pointless because I think that this is because everything is pre prepared in the kitchen, including fish, so it would have been the same, had it been replaced. Nice looking restaurant inside, but no atmosphere and my food wasn't up to much I'm afraid. I wanted to like the place but I was very disappointed. Unlikely to return.

Enjoyed our meal but Waiter called Hugo needs to learn how to smile and be friendly. He had a face on him from when he first opened the door for us, then was curt and impatient once we were choosing our meals.

Absolutely brilliant night. Food was wonder, and the staff made a good night great. I'm definitely going back for more.

Booked at table for 8pm. Got there at 7:55 and didn't get to the able until 8:25. Was for a birthday meal aswell so there was a fair few of us.Now I must note the place was busy like every table was full.But the wait for the table without even getting offered drinks until 20 mins after we got there was a bit of a joke.Some of the staff seemed okay and other were a little rude.We ordered starters, they forgot one of them.The food itself was good , did enjoy it even though the cokes were a bit flat and watered down.I brought in a cake for the birthday girl and they were great with organising the cake and singing happy birthday.Overall wasn't a great first time experience but am willing to try again at a less busy time. It was a Saturday night so I won't be too harshDietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options

Amazing restaurant, great service and excellent quality food. We came as a group of 8 for a wedding meal / celebration. I asked to move tables from the original one they set up for us for a more private table, they were very accommodating setting up a different table for us upstairs and they let me decorate the area with balloons and flowers. We were there from about 4.30pm until about 10.30pm. We had the table the whole night, were not rushed at all and the waitresses looked after us the whole time, constantly checking we had enough drinks etc. The meal itself was gorgeous, the prawns and mixed grill were so good. I would definitely recommend especially for a special occasion.

An amazing place to have high quality Turkish food. We have returned several times as it provides a wide selection of dishes, both meat based and vegetarian, bursting with gorgeous flavours. If there is one thing that dissapointed would be their soups - they seem to be very light in terms of ingredients; it is too watery and have not much going for them. They are not cream (or creamy) soups nor are they with chunky vegies or meat in them; they are mostly liquid with flavour. Nevertheless, it still gets an excellent rating because of all of their dishes which are gorgeous, the service which is always top notch, and the amazing overall experience we always had. After going there 4 times already, I am still interested in trying more dishes from their menu!
Yemekler de servis de harikaydı. Everything was amazing and we had a great meal there. It was one of the best Turkish foods we had around Manchester.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff are friendly, sadly the food was a massive let down. Whilst the food was ok, there wasn't much of it. The salads were tiny and uninspired. I think we were probably given the equivalent of a single pitta between us. The grilled dishes were pretty bland and bordering on undercooked. Overall it's ridiculously expensive considering the above. Our bill for 4 came to £125. I would expect more, so it's a disappointment. We won't be going back. Some complimentary bread or olives would have been nice (something we've always been given in other Turkish/Mediterranean restaurants.) I can only imagine the good reviews are from people that are either easily pleased or haven't experienced decent Mediterranean cusine.

As always, fantastic and attentive service, not overbearing in any way.Food was delicious, best spot for good wine and meat in the area :)Kid-friendliness: My baby boy had a fantastic time and with all the care and attention from the team we managed go even have brief conversation with each other ?
