Reviews
My experience at this restaurant was nothing short of amazing maybe because I was out there for a date but the customer service was top notch and staff were so friendly. As we got in we had a bottle of wine ( Pinot Grigio) which tasted so good.
Then the meal came in we had chicken and lamb platter with rice. The meal was so much that I had to take some of the platter home. The Flavors were bussing if I am allowed to use that particular word😂😂. The ambience was so cool and the atmosphere was giving privacy. Loved every bit of it especially the food.
You can come here for a family dinner or a private dinner with your partner and you won’t be disappointed. The menu was affordable in my opinion at least if sharing each person could pay less than 30 pounds. I would be visiting this restaurant again when next I’m in Manchester. It’s a thumbs up from me.
I went with my sweetie wife . She loved the restaurant and told Turkish food is the best but never seen as fresh lamb chops.
We had tasty meal . Lamb chops were made perfect tender juicy . Calamari was done just right . Prawn was little bit raw but tasty is good .
Service was fantastic
Environment was romantic
We will visit this restaurant again
Delicious food and brilliant service! Portion sizes are very generous for every part of the meal, we left overly full - we couldn't stop eating as it was that delicious!! Would highly recommend for a function or just a casual meal, the food is made fresh and was quick out. The best were definitely the feta cheese rolls.
Turkish restaurant in the centre of Manchester. The last time I ate here was around 10 years ago and it's changed quite abit, both the decor and food, I wonder if it's changed hands 🤔 the natural brown and cream decor is present enough but bland and I was disappointed with the food. I've always had the vegetarian moussaka but it's changed completely. It's OK but not as good as the previous recipe. This one was chopped vegetables, aubergine, onion, courgettes and tomatoes in a cast iron dish with a small amount of bechamel sauce ontop. Very similar to a lasagne. I couldn't taste any nutmeg or cinnamon or any species. Previously it was more traditional, more Turkish, now it tastes like an English version. Pity.
The cheese roll starter was nice enough but I think there should have been more than 2 pieces of hallumi cheese, at least 3, 4 would be even better.
In summary I think that they've turned down the Turkish element in every way, probably hoping to suit the more bland English palate.
I won't be rushing back. 😌
Food was good and loved the atmosphere! They have highchairs and the place is pram-friendly. Halal food👍
I was disappointed with the food. I usually have the vegetarian moussaka but it's changed. The previous one was a traditional Turkish version eith spices and sliced aubergine etc. This one was OK but not as good it was mainly chopped vegetables of; aubergine, onion, courgettes and tomatoes in a cast iron dish with a small amount of bechamel sauce ontop. Just like a lasagne. I couldn't taste any nutmeg or any species, now it tastes like a bland English version.
The cheese roll starter was nice but the hallumi starter was a little small with just 2 pieces of cheese.
It's a pity as it was a traditional Turkish restaurant now it feels like a bland English version.
I came over to order some food to take away and they have been extremely friendly. I was given a nice cup of Turkish tea and baklava while waiting. Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Definitely recommend it!!
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the quality if food is very good, and the menu features a variety of choices. I don’t think it’s the best place for vegan/ vegetarian but at least there’s a few vegan/vegetarian options.
