A really really good Turkish restaurant one of the best in the east midlands. Recently back from turkey and it's like the food there. Great with the kids and great service.Posted on OzgurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. Hands down one of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve visited in Nottingham. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a real authentic vibe that immediately sets the tone. The food is outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and full of flavour—perfectly grilled meats, beautifully seasoned dishes, and generous portions that leave you completely satisfied. The mixed grill is a must-try, and the bread is clearly made fresh—soft, warm, and addictive. Service is just as impressive. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about your experience without being overbearing. You feel looked after from start to finish. What really stands out is the consistency and attention to detail—from presentation to taste to service, everything is spot on. If you’re in Nottingham and craving proper Turkish food, this place is an absolute gem. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.Posted on Rachel STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Food was absolutely outstanding. Amazing flavours and selection, dips and salad were tasty and fresh. Well worth the money. Staff very friendly, kind and attentive. The restaurant was stylish and modern, along with the toilets that were spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend a visit!Posted on kyah smartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hosted a group dinner here and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Originally booked for 25 people, our numbers increased to 35 with only a few hours’ notice — and the team handled it effortlessly. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly despite the last-minute change. The food was excellent, and what really stood out was that every single dish came out together, which is no small feat for a group of that size. Not one meal was sent back, which says a lot about the quality and consistency. The staff were attentive throughout the evening, always on hand without being intrusive, and they helped create a really enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. A special mention to Ozzy, the manager and all the staff , who was absolutely fantastic and ensured everything went perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend for both large groups and smaller gatherings alike!Posted on Eric SymonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always good here. Thursday evening birthday meal. Mixed platter for 4 was perfect for two greedy blokes and their partners.
