Utterly fantastic. Dined here yesterday evening with my girlfriend. Went for the hot meze starter and ‘mixed meat sharer’ type dish for our main. The food was unbelievable. I love Turkish food and often seek it out when in a new city but this was the best I’ve had. Huge portion of perfectly spiced and expertly cooked food. Great Turkish house red to wash it down too. Friendly, attentive staff. Terrific value too. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

My favourite Turkish restaurant in Newcastle and Durham! I came with friends, we ordered chicken, lamb and meatballs with cheese inside (or something similar). All very lovely. Nice service, good quality of foods. Highly recommended! Will come back soon.

Turned up here on a Sunday night, having never tried Turkish cuisine before (other than the odd Donner kebab).
Great choice of hot and cold starters and mains on the menu. Starters were generally £5 to £8. Mains between £10 and £16 mostly.
Food arrived promptly and was well presented and very flavoursome. Didn't try dessert as we were stuffed!
Would definitely go again!
