    A stylish and modern take on Turkish cuisine. The vibe is relaxed yet polished, with soft, warm lighting that sets a cozy tone. Dishes are beautifully presented with a clear attention to detail, traditional flavors done elegantly. Great for date nights or a classy dinner with friends. Will be back!

    Service here was excellent, staff are very attentive and quick to respond to requests. Certain dishes were also outstanding, would definitely recommend the prawns. Other dishes were good as well however with comparison to the price seem underwhelming. Hard to tell if meals were overpriced or if the London food scene really has become extortionate.

    It was a little overpriced for what it is. Food was all nice but nothing very special. The pacing of the food out of the kitchen was all at one time so it was a little overwhelming and meant your were rushing as it was all getting cold
