    Loved the food, absolutely stunning!! Portions were generous which I like when I go out and service was quick even though everything is made fresh infront of you! Waitresses were quick with requests and atmosphere was light and fun. My only suggestion would be a bigger location really because if you are going with more than 6 people it would be a squeeze. Highly recommended for the food though

    The food was excellent, the atmosphere was a little subdued. As others have said don't judge a book by its cover.

    This place offers exquisite food. The owner was kind enough to give us a table without booking on a Saturday evening. Tried their Cluck Chicken, the chicken was soft, perfectly BBQed and the sauce was out of this world. Their Meat Curry was lit. The owner was courteous enough to recommend cheese to go along with it, and he recommendation was spot on. Definitely going back when I am back in town.

    We have visited this premises twice now hoping that the customer service would improve but it hasn't. There are 2 female waitresses employed here that don't know how to treat customers, starting with the fact that they never smile and are very abrupt towards you. Every time we visit they rush you eating your food and even try and serve the main course whilst you are eating your starter!! To be honest the food is satisfactory but not value you for money. If I order a bottle of wine in a restaurant I expect the staff to pour it and not slam the glasses on the table, saying nothing and just walk off!! We won't be visiting here again.

    Had an amazing meal here as a group of 10. The food was fantastic - not one complaint. Very reasonably priced. So much food we took some leftovers home. Highly recommend.

    Food is really good , so tasty and well presented. The two serving are very busy but always came back to us to check and update. A little gem

    Do not make this amazing restaurant your second choice. From the moment you walk in, you are very welcomed by all. Service and food out of this world. The passion from Chef's to front of house really shows. Chefs cook front of house and you are salivating waiting for your feast. Liver and peppers highly recommended.

    The chicken was served burnt, the vegetables were tasty, the meat was cooked with too much spices. We waited for a long time until we were served, although there few people

    I can’t speak highly enough of this place. The food is exceptional. The staff, chefs and owners were excellent, and constantly engaging with us and all the other diners, which makes a huge difference. We took our little girl (4) and they made such an effort to talk with her, which again as parents made us feel very welcome. It’s honestly one of Chester’s hidden gems. They are on Deliveroo (which is where we have ordered from before), but the food was even more incredible in the restaurant. We will be coming back again and again.

    A delicious authentic Turkish experience! I came here with some friends and it did not disappoint, staff were super lovely and friendly, the food was delicious and reasonably priced and the open kitchen was entertaining to watch while we waited for our food. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Olga K. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't understand why review are so high. Food is not the best: rice too salty, too less of side salad, yogurt sauce too liquidity. Tomato sauce is just warm tomato pasta with huge amounts of black paper. It was hard to find meat between lamb bone and fat. Same seasoning for chicken and lamb, seriously? If it will be my first Turkish cuisine experience I would never try Turkish meals again.

    Absolutely amazing food amazing service would definitely recommend if your in the area

  • 5/5 Crystal L. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our most amazing meal in this glorious Turkish restaurant. Food was cooked right in front of you in the bbq grill. The chicken skewers were divine, moist, flavoursome, tender and grilled to perfection. The bread was light and fluffy. We also loved our aubergine salad and stuffed aubergine. Both were bursting with favour. I had a special treat by getting the Turkish turnip juice, first time to enjoy it after my pre covid Turkish holiday. Simply superb! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Monisha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best and most tasty restaurant in the town; I enjoyed spending the dinner time with my besties over here just a day while visiting Chester! Just a great ambience, especially the cooking area, makes the customer more warm in winter! A nice and cosy place to pop in for the best Turkish food!

    Lovely evening meal, generous portions of meat, plenty of salad. Well cooked and served with tasty sauces. Service efficient, lovely friendly waitress. Good ambiance.

  • 5/5 Richard H. 1 year ago on Google
    Thoroughly enjoyed the food. The sharing platters offer really generous portions! So much so that we actually couldn’t finish it all. Will definitely be returning.

    Top notch. Simple food, done VERY well. I think I had an out of body experience when I bit into the pork chop. If you're nearby, and are hungry, then this is the place to go. Stunning.

    Absolutely amazing!! Came in with a very large group, we were late for our booking and it was almost closing time. They still served us with smiles on faces and the food was perfect!! Can not fault this restaurant!
