    Overall the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Service and staff were good. If i had only one negative thing to say is that.. they charged for the bread which is unusual for a Turkish restaurant! But the food was delicious and portions were good.

    Fantastic food quality and serving sizes however, we booked a 7.30pm dinner and were not informed until after the fact, that the kitchen closes at 8.30pm yet we had not ordered our mains nor were prompted to throughout the night. We were then told we could order however, 3 dishes we requested were unavailable and then we were told we would need to be finished eating before 9.00pm however, it was just after 8.30pm before we were even ordering. This made the overall experience severely disappointing as we were celebrating fathers day and truly put a damper on our experience. The lack of communication and rush we were felt was not comfortable nor welcoming.
