Food was very tasty and it was outstanding it tasted amazing. However my rice that I ordered were unexpectedly colder than what I anticipated. The server forgot my takeaway order and I didn’t receive it until I reminded them. The restaurant was over crowded and there was barely any space if you were trying to get around the restaurant and it was busy. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely go again, I totally recommend it!

Pretty decent shawarma place.l,.but it is a takeaway with some nice seating. I can imagine if you take the food away, by the time you reach home it won't be as nice, so it's definitely an eat in place. Pros: Tasty food Fresh and hot Reasonably priced Nice comfortable Modern and contemporary ambience Handsome styling Cons: No table service Limited cold drink options It's a self-service style takeaway with seating. No Turkish tea (as of 15/04/25) Short dessert menu Portion sizes can be small

Always good food.The place is so amazing and staff always friendly and first class service. Have food from here so many time.I specially like their salad but this time salad made me down. Salad was smelling and tasting bad. I don’t understand they are selling all day their salad should be very fresh, why not.
