Customers rave about the authenticity and taste of the dishes. The Chicken Shish often steals the spotlight, with many praising its marination and perfect charcoal-grilled finish. The Hummus, served with fresh bread, is a must-try, known for its creaminess and depth of flavor.
The warm, accommodating service from the staff enhances the experience, making everyone feel welcome. Diners appreciate the generous portion sizes on the sharing platters, which make it perfect for a group or family dinner. Plus, the outdoor seating offers a lovely spot to enjoy meals during pleasant weather, further amplifying the dining experience.
Most Disliked
A few guests mention that during peak hours, the service can slow down slightly, indicating a need for more staffing during busy times. It's a minor inconvenience, but it’s worth noting if you're in a rush.
Some diners have also pointed out that while the food is reasonably priced, certain specials can feel slightly heftier on the wallet. Nonetheless, most agree the quality justifies the cost, making it a worthwhile splurge in a cozy environment.

What a find! This is currently the best Turkish restaurant in Leicester. The relaxed atmosphere adds to the benefit of the tasty food. I went for the Chicken Shish with rice. Be sure to order the Hummus with the bread, very tasty. The Chicken was nicely marinated and cooked perfectly over a charcoal grill. I will definitely be coming back here.
