    The restaurant was short on staff, there were only three front staff. This meant we were given a more water when we finished the first bottle. We had thought of having a further glass of wine, or possibly a coffee or dessert, but as no member staff approached us, we couldn’t do so. It then seemed a cheek to add a 12.5% suggested service charge.

    Enjoyed veggie mezes, delicious and moorish. Superb cocktails and excellent wine selection. Not as happy with new meat options on new menu.

    Very small portions for the price we're paying. For my main lamb adana meal i received one piece of lamb in an appetitser sized dish. When we were asked what sauce I'd like to go with my fries, i asked for mayo, not realising its chargeable. My husband spoke to the server in private about whether they have gluten and dairy free dessert to celebrate my birthday early, as a surprise. As he went to the toilet the server came and told me there wasn't any, completely ruining the surprise 😅 overall the experience was OK, we took the incidences lightly and still managed a good time but we wouldn't return again.

    The menu has been changed and is not as good. They no longer serve the butter chicken kebab which was 10/10. The new lamb kebab was nice, about 7/10. My friend had the salt beef kebab and absolutely hated it. The best thing I ate was the leeks. They were very nice. About 8/10. Service was very good.
