    This place has by far the BEST garlic sauce I ever had!! The doner is also great. Doesn’t matter if it comes with bread, shawarma or directly on the plate, the meat is super tender. I would only invest a bit in the staff taking care of the tables - I feel like the smaller tables get a bit “ignored” because of the bigger ones..other than that, VERY good food!

    We came in for dinner, the service was very quick and impressive. The waiters are very helpful and friendly and they’re multilingual so communication with them was easier. However the menu was in Portuguese but it at least had pictures so you can see the what you are ordering and some had translations. The portions were very very very big. Its very affordable. However its also a family restaurant so on the day we came which was a sunday evening it was very busy and very noisy from the screaming kids. But I did enjoy my visit to the restaurant and the food was nice

    The service is amazing, very polite. The meat is extremely tender, with various kinds. The pizzas are sooo delicious with lots of flavour, so tasty and succulent. It's definitely a welcoming place and a must-go to.

    The food was super delicious. We had lamb chop and grilled chicken wings and chicken salads plus rice and chips. The meat was very tender and the rice was perfect. The dessert is delicious 😋. I had a blast eating there 😋. Will definitely come again.

    The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, it is clean, the waiters are kind, welcoming people and they are nice. The food is served amazingly fast and hot. The taste of the food is very good and you have an unforgettable moment when you eat the food. They serve Turkish tea also with dessert if you want and this is also a very good tradition which makes you leave the place happy. Great restaurant great people

    Quality is not that great.. it's a place for family and kids .. always crowded.. food is just okay .. ya but they do have variety of food items.. whatever I tried was a flop.. Chicken nuggets was very good though. Seafood was not good.

  • 2/5 Tibúrcio U. 1 year ago on Google
    The architecture reassembles very well the Turkish culture. Very Hot, crowded, and the service is not friendly. Since we are talking about a restaurant with local dishes , the waitress should know each and every one, and have the patience to explain them. (Since I'm a fan of shawarma I can say that the shawarma I ate there was not good)

  • 5/5 Save N. 5 months ago on Google
    Istanbul is a festival of meat. If you pick the right dish you are in for the ride of your life. The staff is gentle and helpful, and the selection of desert is top notch. Pricey if you are looking for a budget. But not unfairly priced.

  • 3/5 Hadiyah K. 7 months ago on Google
    A very busy restaurant. When I first came inside, one of the waiters ushered me to a table but then another waiter approached us and started arguing with the first waiter in Portuguese, which was rude. The food was warm and in the wrap there were only tomatoes and onions beside the meat. Overall, not a very pleasant experience.

  • 5/5 Noufiya A H. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant if u love turkish taste... Most of the Turkish population of Mozambique would've visited this restaurant atleast once in their life.. It's their spot.. Suitable if u prefer Halal food. We had kabab, chicken and choclate shake.

  • 5/5 Liliana C. 10 months ago on Google
    Fast service and very attentive waiters! Good food 👍 We took mix of meat for 2 persons and additionally got a big plate of rise, vegetables salad and chips. Very tasty, we weren't able to eat everything 😁 Pleasant atmosphere and good value for money! Definitely recommend 👍

    The food is extremely delicious and the bottomless Turkish tea can be gleefully addictive. I always have an amazing experience here.

    Myself and my team had such an amazing vibe here, all black dresses, the service when u get there is amazing the food wow, the very fresh food, pleasant ambient lighting and clean with a touch of eastern cousin.

  • 1/5 Mahomed S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is fantastic. Atmosphere is awesome. Service was sloppy. After the meal we wanted deserts, we were told the kitchen was closed. I saw some already made sweets, wanted some baklava, and they said the people were not there anymore and they couldn't sell . As I was leaving I saw the same people who said no to me, removing sweets and selling to a different client.

    Good place for a relatively quick bite. Not vegetarian friendly. Otherwise good place for non veg lovers.

  • 5/5 Humair H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience, super friendly staff they made our experience an outstanding one. Food is tasty as well, nice ambience and they are extremely humble with kids, balloons, plant etc etc as freebies. Would recommend everyone to try it.

👍👍 Spot where everybody meets everybody. Great beers, pizzas and appetizers. The service is a bit slow and could be improved. It is like they are not interested in having clients (don’t explain well the dishes or promotions, are slow, don’t suggest alternatives etc). Not sure how you expect a good tip...
