Doesn’t deserve one star they are fraudulent they care more about money than customer satisfaction I paid £14 for lamb shish rap with Patlican with bread and the portion was stupidly ridiculous for the price, half of the rap had meat half not and there was barely even a hand full of chips the waitress had a really bad attitude and when the bread ran out I asked the man can I have some more bread he starts laughing at me trying to impose I’m fat or something, if the restaurant was good/serious the grill would have been lit in the morning not when I walked in that just proves that the restaurant is bad, Please don’t come here this is literally fraud typical Turks very expensive but food quality is very bad. do not go here YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I would give 0 stars if I could. My husband and I went out to eat on Sunday night, we are Turkish food lovers, but the way we were served and the food left something to be desired.By the way, I was charged £5 for a salad that was neither on the menu nor on the receipt. Where did he deduce that this is the price? Very bad behaviour from the owner/manager. No wonder the place had little or no customers at times.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Very poor behaviour from the owner/manager who literally insulted myself and a friend. I really think the business ought to review the management working at this branch. No wonder the place had little to no customers. All worked out in the end though! We found a great place to eat up the road, and glad we didn't waste our money...cash only mind you.

I really had high hopes for this place. Turkish food has been my favorite since I was a small boy and so was deeply hoping for a good result.Unfortunately the reality was far from good. The food was poor… definitely in the bottom 3 places I have ever eaten. To add insult to injury the previous reviews about poor customer service were also on full show. Personally my interaction with the owner over something as simple as taking the order was very curt and arrogant, with no change when it came to pay.Finally do NOT come here if you are a family and have kids under 10. Some of us had the unfortunate experience of watching the owner kicked out a family because their 3yr old started crying after she accidentally bit her cheek.The mother was doing what mums do and was trying to console her daughter but after about 30 secs the owner came over and asked them to leave because” you can not control your daughter and you shouldn’t come to restaurants unless you can!” The father tried to explain but he wouldn’t hear it, instead stating that the child was disturbing the “entire restaurant”. It should be noted that the was the total of 7 customers in the restaurant, 4 of which where the family in question! The couple in the corner spoke up and said not an issue for them. The father asked about getting food to go, but again the owner said no and please leave.It really was a disgusting and disappointing situation to witness and after the family left the owner never once apologized but instead kept disturbing the rest of us with comments like “don’t you agree, they should stay home, etc?” Everyone remained silent and just left as quickly as possible.A real shame… because Turkish food done correctly is wonderful!!

Do not go to this restaurant if you don't want to be insulted. Customer service was beyond poor. Can't review the food because I didn't stay long enough for the food to come out.Stay away. Only giving a star because I have to.

I usually avoid this place because it's often empty however after having sat in for a meal I really can't understand why it's not bustling and busy.The food was amazing, there was even a good selection for vegetarians. The staff were lovely and overall we had an amazing time.Beware that it's cash only (but there is a cash point nearby.I'm definitely going in for a meal again!

Wanted to try some Turkish food whilst away and found this place online. Super friendly and large portions which were all very tasty. Felt very traditional and well done. Would go back

As a dining experience - the worst I have ever had! Booked table, when we arrived not even a "hello" just a blank face. Waited for 15 minutes before being approached, in silence, for order to be taken. Everyone in restaurant was dressed in thick coats and hats, it was that cold! Staff only talked to their friends. So busy talking to friends we tried countless times to get attention but just ignored. Food was terrific, but if you don't speak the Turkish language, stay home! The main business is takeaway, that you pay for by bank card, but if you eat in restaurant is cash only. If you go ad a group who has that much cash on them?

Found this place by chance. Amazing grilled food very clean atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was made fresh on site. Will definitely recommend and pop in again if I do come this way .

Used to be my favourite place to eat in Taunton. But since the recent increase in COL, the meat portion sizes have got considerably smaller. I would prefer to pay more & have the meat amount stay the same!

Always great kebabs - nice fresh salads - tasty and not at all greasy. Fresh orange juice delicious.
