Absolutely loved the food. Everything was perfect. From the complimentary lentil soup starter to the traditional tea, thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The bread was scrumptiously soft and fluffy. The salads and condiments were all really flavourful. Could not fault a thing. The food service was really fast. Staff was courteous. Very good value for money and generous portions. Will be visiting again and recommending to all my friends and family

It serves really great food. It’s not the absolute best kebab you’ll ever find, but it’s definitely among the top. I had the lamb shank and it was excellent — tender, tasty, and honestly impressive for the price. The atmosphere is busy and full of energy, with a real Middle Eastern vibe that makes the place feel lively and authentic. Considering how affordable it is, the overall value is fantastic.

Ordered the lamb kofta. Delicious. This place has excellent, speedy service and Maria is friendly and ensures you’re taken care of. If the bread is that bubbly you know the place will be great. Also, complementary sides, soup, and tea. What more could you ask for? 5/5

We were looking for somewhere to eat on a Friday night and stumbled across this restaurant. It was very busy and we took that as a sign the food must be good. Loved every dish, from the complimentary lentil soup to the tea. Perfectly cooked meat, delicious bread, and flavorful sides. Fast service, friendly staff, and great value. Highly recommend!
