The restaurant was lovely, it was very busy so although we had to wait a few times for different things the waiter was so polite and courteous and he even apologised at the end for not giving us his attention but he did and we had a great evening the food was amazing I just wished I lived nearer so I could return easily. Thoroughly recommend it.

Great find for a meal before a concert at the Barbican - less than 10 mins walk. Delicious Turkish food with ideal vegetarian options for some of our party.
