My husband and I have been eagerly anticipating the opening of this restaurant and booked a table for the first Saturday evening after opening before the doors had officially opened.
We are novices with Turkish food but the menu is detailed and informative to allow you to make a decision with little guidance although the staff are more than happy to make suggestions.
We had hummus to start, with the delicious complimentary bread, followed by the lamb ribs and the olive tree special (their mixed grill) so we could try a lot of different things on the menu. We were not disappointed!
The food is absolutely incredible! The lamb shish melts in the mouth, and the flavours were out of this world.
At one point in the evening there was an issue with the fire alarm going off, however it did not spoil our evening. I did find myself having to apologise to our waitress though for the way the table next to us spoke to her. Their attitude and threatening to leave a bad review on Facebook was disgusting and they were clearly trying to get a free meal, having already finished their food when the alarm started going off. No the manager didn’t come over straight away to apologise for the noise and offer a free drink, he was trying to fix the problem.
My husband and I watched him and his staff run round trying everything to resolve the issue and the waiting staff were continually apologising on his behalf. Once the alarm had been silenced, the manager personally visited every table, apologised profusely and offered everyone a free round of drinks.
The alarm certainly did not spoil our evening, or put us off returning.
We look forward to returning soon.
Also, a special thank you to our waitress Viktorija for being so wonderful and for dealing with some horrible customers so well.
See you all soon!
Great place, the food was amazing and the service was just as good! Our waitor Selmon was very friendly, even had a rose made out of a napkin for me. Food cooked by Sendor �� will definatly return and recommend to friends/family
We ate here on the Friday night after the grand opening, while you might have expected some teething problems everything was great. Complimentary bread/dips were nice and even when our waitress suggested that there may be a little wait for our mains they came promptly.
Food, wine and cocktails are well priced. The only gripe we had was that a pint of draught beer is nearly £6 - London + price!?
Service is friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be back �
