Incredible food - the Kezban Banquet with a mixture of cold and hot mezzes was delicious! Not to forget the mouthwatering desserts; lokum and kunafe

NEVER EVER AGAIN!! The manager charged us for a full plate dropped on the floor by accident. Extremely greedy and disgraceful, to charge us for food we never consumed. The worst restaurant, I complained face to face to manager but his answer is unacceptable "the meat is expensive". Well, they technically stole 23£ from me for a mix grill we never ate. They don't know how to care of customers. So disrespectful !!

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent but the food was disappointing. The falafel wasn't freshly made (bought in) every thing was deep fried in cheap oil, the food was completely tasteless and the sauces were cheap from a jar. It's the worst meal I have ever had in a restaurant. My Mum was sick on the way home and I had an upset stomach that evening.

Came here for a work lunch. The food was flavourful and delicious, especially the Tavuk Guvec chicken! Really tasty cold mezzes to start with (hummus, cacik and baba ghanoush) however it would have been nice to have a bit more bread as it wasn't enough to finish the dips. The service was really friendly, but often there wasn't anyone around (i.e. to ask for more bread). I had a chocolate brownie for dessert and although nice, it wasn't as good as our mains. Still a great meal and I would definitely recommend! Nice décor and traditional music.

Totally unforgettable experience, I ordered lamb kebab and received chips :) when I told that it's not what I ordered and wanted to order again, waitress decided that it's all my fault and asked me to pay more than in a menu (I already paid for chips which I didn't ordered, so we started a new bill with higher payment than in a menu). Not sure what would happen if I stay and they prep different than ordered food (probably they would like me to pay again and hope that next one will be correct:)). After all of that I decided to leave, so I heard the best comment from waitress "I do not understand what your problem is" spoken using very aggresive voice. I didn't have opportunity to try food, it's review of customer service which is the lowest possible. Please have that in mind before you decide to go there

The restaurant is on a main street, very difficult to find parking for the car. The decoration is very nice and authentic. The working team consist of a chef and a lady waiter. We reached with another 2 couples by coincidence. And it took them 30 minutes to serve the drinks and another total of 45 minutes to serve the food. The food wasn’t the best, cooked nicely but the ingredients were not the best, meat was chewy and tough. It’s a shame that potentially a good restaurant with a good chef looses foot due to ingredients and less manpower.

The staff were super attentive with a friendly welcome and then they went out of their way to make sure the meal and drinks were to our liking. Nice atmosphere with comfy seating and large tables to spread all your dishes out on (we chose pretty much everything !).

Popped in at 8pm on a Monday. Not too full nor too empty. The front of house chap was a little calm at first but soon turned out to be a thoroughly enthusiastic and warm guy. The decor is clean and, well, Turkish and the kitchen is viewable through a huge glass window - all the scrutiny but no fumes/smells. I've eaten Turkish food in many restaurants- this was the best. Faultless. Three Starters - Halloumi, Mushrooms and Hummus, all with Turkish bread and all superb. Two Mains, lamb chops and a chicken dish with a sauce of yoghurt, herbs and aubergine. Both were ample and very tasty. Add in an Efes Draft, 3 large glasses of wine and 2 Turkish coffees and the bill was a few quid south of £90. All in all, a great choice and one for a revisit without hesitation.

Initially the smell put me off, I don't know why it smelled the way it did. Everything was really salty but somehow lacking in flavour. I did enjoy the bread though, had it the day after, toasted, and it was delicious. The meat in the mixed grill wasn't too chewy but still tough and bland. I had a craving for grilled meat and now I don't want any meat for a while. The sauces had a strange off taste to them I've never tasted before. I prefer Ada as they have more flavour in their food, but sadly they don't deliver to me.

Those who had not tried turkish food loved it. Adana kebab is my absolute favourite and it was beautiful as always. Ali looked after us fantastically well. Always on hand and nothing was too much bother for him. The meal was finished off with complimentary Turkish tea and some kurdish dancing! Thank you so much for making everything so special.

Food was average, not anywhere as good as some of the other Turkish restaurants in Edinburgh. The main problem was the manager on this Monday night who seemed to have an attitude problem the moment we walked in, gave absolutely terrible service and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. There was a young waiter who said it was his first day and he tried his best in all fairness, but will never go back because of the managers behaviour. Ps charging customers extra for sauces is hilarious, spend your money elsewhere.

Delicious flavorful halal Turkish food. We ordered the special feast for two. Ample food was given it seemed the amount of food could have fed more than two people. All the courses came out back to back so there wasn’t enough time to enjoy each course on its own. The warm Turkish bread with hummus and two other condiments were delicious but it would have been nice if waiter would have explained what each item was. We had to call the waiter back to explain. I guess the assumption was we already knew the cuisine. Meat was tasty but dry. Overall it was a satisfying experience. I would recommend this restaurant.
