The venue was dull and uncomfortable. The food and drinks were very expensive and not really enjoyable as the portions were very small. Would not go there again.

I had dinner at the restaurant on NYE. The food was delicious, I particularly enjoyed the pork belly special, and it came out very quickly. The service was very good and it was all reasonably priced. I am definitely going back and have already recommended it to my friends.

The food was amazing. Every dish was delicious and fresh. Unfortunately the service was terrible until I believe the manager took over. We were a party of 3. We sat at our table for 25 minutes till we had to ask for menus and water ( all other tables we given them straight away) We ordered drinks to start. We had to wave the waiter down 20 minutes later to place our order. He repeated the order, so all good. The food started arriving but our drinks we ordered prior hadn't arrived. Flagged down the waiter to follow up. They were sitting on the bar waiting to be delivered ( I assume had been there quite a while ) We finished the first 3 dishes . . where are the other 2 ?? which were a salad and fries so shouldn't take 20 minutes longer than the other hot dishes we already had. Flag down the waiter again . . . .I think I forgot to order them was his response !! We flagged down a different waiter to order an addition dish. We expressed our disappointment with the service so far and he replied that he was not responsible for the area we are seated in. . .So, the manager I believe came and took over. She was great, full of personality, energy, checking on us, see if we wanted anything else. It was a great experience from there on . . I suppose, I'm disappointed there was no apology, no offer of service recovery not a free drink or a free dish was offered. Especially when 60% of the evening we endured careless and unorganised service. I think we were unluckly. . I would still highly recommend this venue for the great food and location if nothing else.

Delicious savoury dishes, best Turkish pizzas! The desserts were a bit hit and miss. What about something simple like medjool sticky date pudding or fresh Turkish delight?

Yummy food. Great location. Service a little slow. One meal served was not what was ordered but was provided on a complimentary basis while the correct order was made up. No problem.

Monday night is Pizza night! Half price and full flavour with vegetarian options and a variety which makes me think of coming back ASAP. Book ahead or be disappointed- each table was taken or reserved at 6.15pm!

Sometimes good, sometimes average - this time very average. Food is getting more expensive and the chicken wings were deep fried and terrible. Service was just ok. Mr Lawrence could make a lot more money for drinks if they actually asked if the customer would like a drink.

Food was amazing and a great wine list. Service was very good and friendly - only marked down slightly because they forgot water and had to ask a few times for it. Apart from that it was a wonderful experience and would definitely go back and recommend to friends.
