Tarshish in Haringey

Food average at best. They took my plate away with 2/3rds of the food remaining without asking if I was done eating or whether I wanted to pack it away. They done this slyly whilst I was distracted. They later repeated this behaviour with my beverage, took my half-full glass (the Marilyn Monroe one) when I left it at the table with my friends to go to the bathroom. Rude and rushed service.

Okay, so this review is three years late, but better late than never, right? This is still hands down my favourite restaurant! I can still remember the amazing customer service like yesterday—it left such a lasting impression. And don’t even get me started on the food! It was so good, it blew my expectations out of the water. I’m already counting down the days until I can return next year!

Went with friends few days ago food was very bland 7 of us nobody was impressed with the food, we all had different dishes, all plates were collected half full. Says it all.

My experience is always superb and I’m always looking forward to go for a meal. CLAUDIA IS MY FAVOURITE WAITRESS-she is so polite and welcoming Update January 2023 -SUPERB SEVICE -DINNER WITH FRIENDS AUGUST 2023- My friend Andersen’s bday was amazing great service and immaculately made meals Update 2024 9th wedding anniversary-Service from Tomas and Claudia was superb My favourite place 😘😘😘 September 17th ,2024 recommended tarshish for my friends birthday celebration…of course she loved it -it was a beautiful celebration Thanks to Claudia

Planned a Surprise Dinner for a friend. Tarshish was the best place to host it. Great communication, great food, great customer service, absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend. Thank you Tarshish Team !

I came here for my friends birthday and we had a nice time. Lovely food, amazing service and good music.

Omar and his team are just what you want when you want to enjoy dinner in a lovely venue. Service and food are always spot on. I have been back one too many times — my go-to restaurant when I want good food and a relaxing evening.

Great food and atmosphere. The service was very slow to begin with. Unable to order drinks at the bar. Asked for water ×4, was only brought to the table after the 4th time of asking. This location was not accessible for disabled people due to the amount of stairs with no lift available. In 2024, that is shocking. This is an issue for me as we should be focused on inclusion to all locations. I did discuss this with the lady on the desk, and she explained it was due to not being granted permission from the council for a lift! The council should feel ashamed of themselves.

The atmosphere was amazing. The decor and vibes were divine. The service was ok for me, however my friend commented that it could have been more welcoming. Will definitely be coming back

Attended on Saturday for a birthday , atmosphere was great, beautiful restaurant and front of house were lovely . Our waitress didn’t seem very interested or like she wanted to be there . We were sat and not even a hello she just put the menus down and walked away. Food overall, overpriced with no real flavour. My friends lamb was nice but my Turkish dish lacked flavour and so did the bulgar .

Every was amazing, staff were very accommodating. Food was great! Would recommend.

Food was amazing, the ambience and the views from the rooftop restaurant are fabulous. Waiters were very friendly and accommodating, made sure to check on us plenty of times and were exceptional. The place is kid friendly and even has high chairs available.

Great place to celebrate your birthday Very professional and friendly staff.

Excellent cocktails and lovely staff

I recently used the private hire space in Tarshish for my birthday; what a rollercoaster! TLDR: Double booked me delaying my prep, retrospectively added £300 room hire to booking that they demanded out of the blue on the night and then gave away free drinks to my guests then charged me for not meeting minimum drinks spend; the height of deceitfulness. I enquired about my dates and then made the visit from South to North London to view (along with many other venues) and was told it was a set menu of £45pp (inc service charge paid in cash on the night) and minimum £25 drinks spend. I knew my guests wouldn’t make the full spend as there were many non-drinkers so I decided I was willing to make the difference. I was advised if I decided to go ahead, I had to come back in person to give a £500 cash deposit to secure the room. As inconvenient as it was, I did just that and was told to sign a paper ‘form’ they have where they write all the details about the booking on it and get me to sign and they keep this; no copy for me, no email with details, only auto email saying, you have a booking etc. Already felt dodgy but due to many reviews, I went ahead. Was called back on the same night telling me they’d missed that the room was already booked and they would try to speak to the other party. The stress! Then I called back day after day for about a week with them saying they were trying too get hold of this person so I was wasting time going back and forth looking for backup venues which wasted precious days of planning and sending out my invites. After a week they finally got the other person to confirm they didn’t want the room so I could rush to get everything else sorted now that I had a confirmed venue. On the night, my makeup artist was 1.5 hours late which made me late which was already upsetting. On the face of it, Tarshish seemed to handle it well and with the busy kitchen they did their best to get food out. The main problem started when the final bill came. I saw the remaining food money, plus service charge plus £300 room hire. I felt sick! We asked Onur, what is this £300 room hire and he said “take out the picture you have on your phone of the contract”, knowing full well I had no copy or picture of the contract. He then showed my brother (who came with me on the viewing) a contract where they had prominently written in pen the £300 room hire fee that wasn’t there when I signed it. Sickening. He then said, well I was going to waive your remaining drinks spend and charge you £150ph for more time in the room so just pay the drinks spend instead, which I would have just done from the beginning anyway (and the service charge was included but just shown separately). I paid an additional £372. After the event at least 3 separate people told me they were given free drinks on the night, including cocktails, who knows how many more. And still they charged me extra money for drinks they know they had given away. To look someone in the eye and lie about contracts and be so deceitful just speaks to the core of the person you are and Tarshish is run by the most devious of men that will screw you over when given the chance. Hire at your own risk.

Beware! Lots of stairs to get to the roof so be ready for the challenge bower it is totally worth it on a sunny day with a breeze. Beautifully presented food with friendly staff. We had mixed cold meze, Adana, chicken Shish and Chop shish with bulgur, latte and sprite. Totally of £105 (3 people) All food had a little kick to it and it was very authentic. Salad wasn’t the regular thing you would see on tables but it’s nice to have something new. Atmosphere was absolutely stunning but the toilets were missing toilet paper and even after letting staff member know there was no refill. We didn’t have reservation but we were welcomed in. It’s a beautiful place perfect for celebration or just to enjoy great meal. Thank you team, we will be back for more!

Tarshish restaurant offers a dining experience that is, overall, quite average. The menu features a range of Mediterranean dishes, but nothing particularly stands out as exceptional. The flavors are decent but lack the wow factor that makes a meal memorable. The ambiance is pleasant enough, though the decor feels somewhat dated and uninspired. Service is adequate, though it can be slow at times, and the staff, while friendly, seem a bit inattentive. Prices are reasonable, but given the quality of the food and service, you might feel like you're not getting the best value for your money. It's not a bad choice if you're in the area, but there are definitely better options out there.

Had a big group dinner and the service was great. Ordered a fish and it was very soft and tasted amazing!

It was a good evening experience for me but I didn't find the drink I ordered!

Amazing restaurant, nice lounge bar. New sisha top bar

I highly recommend this place, best atmosphere best food best best best best best service. Had a great time with the girls! Cocktails were 🤩 will defo come back!

I’ve been here before. Reason for 4 stars is because of its location. It isn’t the greatest if I’m honest, although they have their own car park situated 2 mins away. The views from the top aren’t the best. It’s located at a crossroad junction. I went during the evening on a weekday, and the atmosphere was nil, but I suppose it’s because it was midweek. Nevertheless, the presentation of the food was good, and so was the taste. I personally wouldn’t go there for a special occasion, but it’s defo worth a visit. It’s not a high end place, and nor is it a place where you can spontaneously just rock up hoping for a bargain. Maybe for someone’s not so special birthday? Not sure, but the food was good, just to reiterate.

Spicy Bao buns are quite nice and cost 10£ for two. The mains are around 23£ which I don't think is worth it because portion is small and quality isn't great. Doesn't taste like authentic Turkish cuisine however the bulgar is decent Cocktails aren't worth 13£ - wouldn't bother External beer prices 8£ and they don't have draft only bottles Their shisha is decent and decor looks lovely.

Great atmosphere, music, and drinks were great. Food was awful! Won't be going back!

First time going and was disappointed in my starter. It honestly was very hard and almost cracked my tooth. The main was sensational, I really enjoyed my truffle Mac and cheese on the side with my sea bass. The rice is also very good. All in all the starter let me down so bad but the rest was great My partner really enjoyed his lamb chops and truffle potatoes

We went to Tarshish on a Thursday night without booking and it was perfectly fine. They let us in. The place was almost empty but regardless with did enjoy it because we had all the attention. The waiter there was amazing! One of the best waiter I've ever seen. Anyway the decor of the place is quite flashy so you may or may not like it, but still clean, glamorous and good atmosphere. Looking at the menu you realise that prices are same as in central London but here we are in zone 3 so a bit of a let down. The food is then amazing. Good portion and presentation. We had one main each and cold meze with not drink and we spent less then 50£ each which is a lot even if portions are big! I did not love the salad, with the apple, but the rest was absolutely amazing.

Stunning atmosphere, intimate environment with red lightening, rooftop views, perfect date spot. Service was quick, and the food was lovely. We had a selection of most the dishes and couldn’t fault anything. Would definitely return back soon, parking a little difficult due to location but was worth the visit

The aesthetics and ambiance at Tarshish were nice, but the overall experience was very disappointing. The service was just OK. We ordered our starter and main course together, but had to wait ages for our food to arrive. When it finally did, only the starter came out. The waitress didn't ask if our food was OK. My son ordered a kids' cheeseburger meal that was overly smothered in sauce. He didn't eat it, just the chips, and he's not usually fussy. We even tried scraping off some of the sauce without success. I ordered the lamb shank, but the amount of excess fat was ridiculous, as if they left it on because it was too much trouble to cut off. While I understand it's unrealistic to remove every single piece of fat, the amount left on made it unenjoyable. I was very disappointed. My husband and daughter both went for the Mixed Grill and Shish, which seemed to be OK. The only really nice thing about Tarshish was the decoration. I've been to many restaurants, and anytime a waitress sees that a customer hasn't eaten all their food, they ask if everything is OK. Here, your waitress was happy to take back 3 out of 4 half-eaten plates without a care for the customer experience. My family and I will never come back.

Rubbish food over price Nothing special, just presentation. same like everywhere.?

Birthday dinner with family, food was not to a high standard . However , the decorations were amazing

Great food, fantastic flavours, and great service. A little expensive but worth it. Go there hungry as portions are generous and you’ll want to try everything.

Absolutely amazing place, came here for a friends birthday and we were greeted very well asked how we were.Then taken to our table and there was a DJ who played amazing music all night!!!!!!We got our food played very elegantly and got the peacock mocktail.AMAZING this place deserves 5 stars.The staff are so amazing and extremely helpful and polite, definitely deserve more recognition than they get.Definitely recommend we were dancing all night long whilst we had our food and were greeted constantly which was very sweet.Everyone here was so sweet and everyone felt comfortable to vibe.This place is amazing and I definitely think for a special occasion or a night or even a day out that this place is definitely worth it we had a beautiful nights view

Highs : lovely waitress, decor, music Low : food is poor / average (none of our party of 12 particularly enjoyed or finished their plates ), chairs were extremely uncomfortable, very expensive for what it is. Your typical instagram spot overly hyped for no reason.

Don’t be fooled, icl the bread starter was the only good thing about the food, the rice felt like beans, the lamb beyta i could taste each ingredients and overdosed with sauce and the drinks was 90% water and 10% drink like it’s overpriced as well and the service violated me like i felt violated and do yourself a favour don’t come

Fantastic night great DJ & food was good!

Had Good Experience. Food was and interior was great too .

I cannot understand all the reviews saying this is the best Turkish food ever. Where else have you been trying Turkish food? This isn’t even a Turkish restaurant - having shish on the menu does not make it Turkish. My partner and I came here for dinner on our anniversary. Our table was at 6:30 and there was 1 other couple in the main dining restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful. The vibes are great, the food just did not live up to the potential this place has. We ordered the calamari and houmous to start which were both really nice. The passionfruit with the calamari we wasn’t sure of when ordering, but it was really delicious. The mains - we went for a mixed grill and lamb beyti and we both had rice and shared sides of chips and mac and cheese. The beyti was nice, there was way too much yoghurt for my partner’s taste, but it was good. The meat on the mixed grill was a mixed bag. The Adana was awful. It was tough and cold and grizzly. Very poor quality and just not nice. The chicken shish was fine and the lamb shish was really good, the meat was soft and flavoursome. Now the rice. The rice is more like pilau rice. It’s not the rice I expect to receive at a Turkish restaurant (because this is not a Turkish restaurant). It was just bland, boring, not what you need when you’re just eating rice with meat. And the mac and cheese. I’ve seen this mac and cheese all over social media so I had to try it. It was horrible. There was a oil layer on top and it just tasted like a cheap cheddar cheese. When we were finished, I still had half of my meat left, we left majority of the mac and cheese, and almost a whole rice. We asked for a takeaway container for the leftover food and was told no. I asked why and was told they didn’t have any boxes. We paid a lot of money for this food (especially for what it actually was) and to be told we couldn’t take what we’d paid for with us was very disappointing. As we were leaving my partner spoke to the manager who said “oh are you sure? Let me check”. I don’t know why the waiter would lie to us, but he checked and said there were no boxes and we left. It left a really sour feel on our anniversary meal. On the way home, we called the restaurant to find out if we could order a collection takeaway. They said yes what would you like to order. I asked if they had boxes for the food to taken way in. They said yes of course. My partner has emailed the restaurant. This was a week ago now. He hasn’t had a response. Money grabbing is all that springs to mind.

Absolutely appalling! I cannot express how disappointed my husband and I are after spending £150 last night on what was beyond disappointing. Complete let down. We heard so much about Tarshish in the past and my husband decided to take me there for my birthday and in all honesty we left the place feeling so let down! And to have paid £150 on a few bites of nasty food ! Tasteless and bland. The rice was disgusting to look at let alone eat. The mixed grill are you for real? 2 cubes of chicken shish 2 cubes of lamb shish and a dry tasteless chicken Adana ? We ordered ribs which were not even edible ! Sooo chewy and horrible! No flavour. The waitress took it back to cook a little more and so brought them back to us now burnt ! Presentation of the entire dinner was awful may I add. Mocktails were tasteless and rubbish. I would never advise anyone to go here and will never even look at the place again. It’s ridiculous that these places get away with charging as if they’re serving gold when they’re literally no better or even not as good as the local kebab shop round the corner !

I don’t usually write reviews and If I could give this zero stars I would. I got the halloumi they were extremely dry and the Mac and cheese had no flavour it tasted like cardboard as well for the calamari which didn’t even taste like calamari it was fried in too much batter you could barely taste it. The rice was so dry no flavour at all and the chicken was the only decent thing I had. In the end I got food poisoning and all that food gave me the worst stomach ache. Don’t go here you’re better off going Morley’s

DO NOT VISIT AVOID - I am absolutely appalled with the service and food! I'm had to wait over 15 minutes to be served with waiters non co ordinated and all over the place. Ordered for a party of 6 with the meat being undercooked. The cutlery and glasses were dirty and so were the table and chairs. When letting management know they did not care at all. Overly priced! You will be very let down. NOT VALUE FOR MONEY AT ALL! WASTE OF TRIP FROM SUCH A FAR DISTANCE!

Tarshish provided exceptional service for both my friend's engagement celebration and my birthday meal. Onur and Shanon went above and beyond to ensure that both occasions were memorable and enjoyable. The private section of the restaurant was beautifully decorated and provided an intimate setting for the engagement event. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was respectful and attentive at all times. The birthday meal was equally fantastic, with delicious cuisine and impeccable service. I highly recommend Restaurant Tarshish to anyone looking for a venue for private functions or a place to host family and friends for special occasions. Thank you, Onur, Shanon, and the entire team at Restaurant Tarshish, for making both events unforgettable experiences. We look forward to returning in the future!

Oi this place is wack I can't lie. Dunno how I got roped into paying £20 more than I needed to on a Turkish when I coulda got the same thing from my local with a much bigger portion. I guess you pay for the atmosphere but as turkishes go it was the blandest I've had. Also don't get the beef Donner it taste like Iceland frozen donner (yes I've had Donner from Iceland the struggle was real). Staff were really lovely and welcoming and maybe I caught them on a bad kitchen day but I will not be going back to catch em on a good one.

Lovely restaurant the cocktails were soo good! And the aesthetics

Onur !!! Was so accommodating, I just want to relive every moment again. The organisation was superb , couldn’t fault anything. Such a great birthday. Shannon, got the ball rolling for me and was super on point with it all. Would definitely recommend a private dinning experience, to my friends/family. Definitely will be back xx

Well here is my dilemma Food is really good (been there twice purely for that reason and that reason only) However their service and the staff attitude is a different story When it comes to paying the bill there are some strange rules and regulations such as you are not allowed to pay separately if your party is over certain number unless you pay cash Never heard of such a thing till I ended up in tarshish for christmass party dinner Also they got my order wrong on the second visit so instead of mix grill I ended up with mix shish! And the waitress is acting as if its not a big deal and they are both very similar dishes! No apologies whatsoever. Didn't want to ruin the experience for my friends decided to carry on with my food and not make a fuss. However not going back there again. No matter how great the food the terrible service is never justified

Had a nice night last night at tarshish, we got a few wrong this bought to our table but our waitress Toni was very helpful. other than that lovely night and Toni was very kind and and attentive.

Verryyyy slow service. Been waiting to eat for hours!!! And when they finally brought out the main meal everyons appetite was gone from eating all the bread. even to bring out the drinks omg we waitd almost 2 hours 😩😩😩 if you think thats bad, u gotta wait about an extra hour for the bill. mid food and slow customer service.

Great food and great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful

I liked the atmosphere, the service

I would give a higher rating if I could. The service, food, atmosphere and all was perfect. I already can’t wait to go back, I will be recommending Tarshish to my family, friend and clients. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

Food was bad yet so expensive. It’s actually funny. I brought a chicken starter, it’s was literally 4 toothpicks with a tiny bit of chicken. Then a lamb wrap. The atmosphere was so bad that I didn’t want to stay for shisha but the man said I have to which is so hilarious because I’m paying in cash so it’s not like he couldn’t just reduced my bill. And there is a manadory service fee which is ridiculous because the service wasn’t great either. So WITHOUT food, my bill was £45 because I had to pay for service and shisha. Then my one lamb roll and 5 bites size toothpicks made the bill a whopping £100 for one person alone. DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Not to mentions the toilets were in a disgusting state. Will NEVER return here. Don’t believe tiktok, this place ONLY accepts cash as well. So they are robbing you and the government

Yhh Tarshish isn’t it… get better quality Turkish food from my local 🤡 & what’s with the cash only come on man… very disappointed.

Went for a mates 40th. Good food, nice place but upstairs only - has about twenty steps and no lift. Security guard and some mates helped lift me in my wheelchair up two tight flights of stairs, wouldn't advise as a regular thing.

Excellent customer service, lovely meals.

Lovely experience visiting last night for two. Bill was over £100 food was perfect, drinks 10/10. Good music friendly staff, did not wait long for food. Waiters very attentive. Parked on a near by street free after 10pm Bury street car park was closed at 9pm on Saturday. Highly recommended overall 10/10

I attended a friend's bridal shower at Tarshish once, the food was fantastic, the service was swift, and the flavors were delightful.

changing the menu every 3/4 months, new menu is very disappointing. My wife and I are passionate and active food bloggers and we will be posting our experience in the coming days. Bao Buns were nice starters Mains Lamb shank was very chewy and was very bland. Sea bass presentation was genuinely disgusting, Previous experiences had shown it to look good in the past and it had bones throughout. Beyti was not special, wasn’t noteworthy. £140 completely wasted for my wife’s birthday, she was left heartbroken and very disappointed for her birthday meal as she hyped up this restaurant for months in the run up to her birthday.

Absolutely amazing service by Claudia at Tarshish. Definitely recommend going and the sund down is gorgeous to watch from the rooftop. Delicious food

Disgusting food, music toooo loud, crazily overpriced, service charge far too much will never recommend. You could not hear yourself speak due to the over loud music.

Delicious place with world class food and top class service. Can be highly recommended.

Came here for my birthday with a group of friends. Service and food was amazing! Staff were very attentive and food came in good time and well presented. Great atmosphere with the gorgeous decor and dj playing some old skool classics as well as afrobeats. We left feeling full and satisfied with our food and experience. The only thing I was disappointed with, was my cake, it was literally falling apart. My friends kindly surprised me with the “celebration cake” with a sparkler which was lovely of them, however it’s unfortunate that I was presented with a slightly “mashed up” cake (all the ‘fingers’ surrounding the cake was snapped) as I would of liked to have taken more “pretty” pictures with it on my ‘special day’ - a star lost for that alone.

I’ve come down to Tarshish for my Sisters Birthday and honestly it was once of the best experiences she’s had, The Atmosphere was amazing and the Dj playing was so on point with everything, so glad I chose to come here for my sisters special day. Our server Toni was amazing and was part of making our time special there she was so on point with everything, from when she seated us and up until we left, She was very attentive even thought it was busy and packed she made sure every step of service was on point till the end. The food was amazing aswell as their drinks and cocktails. Overall such a great place and really enjoyable

The food was really lovey , but the kmb chops were a bit charred.. It's a bit too dark, too, especially where the photographs were being taken. All in all, it was a memorable experience . I'll definitely want to go back.

On my daughters birthday party at tarshish and the food for me not the best we pre ordered food from a set menu chicken Shish and my son and partner had mixed shish plates arrived with 5 cubes of meat and chicken on each plate no salad or bread I called over waiter and asked him when bread and salad would arrive he said it’s coming but never did so for me paying the amount of money for 5 cubes of meat and nothing else was a bit much but you learn from experience and never ever go back again

Great food, amazing atmosphere and stunning shisha lounge

The flavours in the food was amazing. Beautiful interior decor and restaurant atmosphere.

Went to celebrate my daughter's birthday on a Saturday night.. Wanted to go here for a while. After 2 flights of stairs...reached the restaurant that looked like a fine dining. But then the atmosphere killed it. The place was packed with large tables of youngsters who were too loud. The staff did not care and to add to it, the music was too loud that we could barely talk to each other. My waitress with a white shirt was too busy talking to her colleague...had to ask for service from an Indian gentleman in a black shirt and he served us for the rest of the evening. 3 stars just because the food was good ..but would not go back there as no care or attention is given to service or ambience. A shame really as I was really looking forward to visiting this place.

I was really impressed with the interiors of the restaurant. Sheesha suggestion was perfect I would say it’s secluded place for quite sheesha time. Food was with good presentation and tasted delicious.

Once you pay for your meal you will see how rude they are, no attention for food allergies and upset my family even thoughwe spent over £350... Will not be going back, restaurant was empty yet trying to rush customers out... do not waste your time going there. Poor attitude and service.

Travelled from over an hour away. So called as was running late and booking was changed to a later time. Thank you to the staff for accommodating. The venue is nice but music was very loud so it was an extremely hard to have a conversation with the person you’re with. The staff and service was good no complaints there but the food was not nice at all literally had 3-4 bites of the food as there was an off putting smell in the meat. Bill came up to £70 for 2 people. pricing feels as if its based on the atmosphere instead of the quality of the food. Thank you guys for the evening but I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

The music is so loud i couldnt bear the person next to me but the food is very nice

We had a nice evening, the place is nice, clean, in a central location, with a changing decor, a nice restaurant, a place to go as a family, enjoy your meal...

Quite annoyingly loud music during the meal, barely able to talk to the person in front

No new year atmosphere, not great

The food was good and the mocktail drinks were amazing. But the atmosphere was so bad. Such loud music that you couldn't hear people talking. And the volume kept going higher every hour. They are started clearing our table and ushering us out 30mins before our booking time finished. Made us feel rushed and unwelcome.

I am a fan of the banc and was so disappointed when I came to tarshish. We booked for about 7pm on 31st December. I don’t know if it was just that day but it was a terrible service as well as really bad tasteless food and drinks. The moment we came to the door the south asian security guard instead of greeting us and saying hello he just shouted out ‘cash’ like who talks like that especially for a place like tarshish that’s not how you want to be greeted, we pushed past him cause sorry we don’t talk to people with no manners like that. We decided to go to the shisha section and the things we wanted on the menu were not available. Like come on as you give us the menu why not tell us then btw certain dishes aren’t available. Anyways the food and drinks came and it was so bland the bulgar rice was stale and the drinks were just watered down fruit juices. It took ages for the waiters to clear our table they just were walking around faffing about looking all over the place it just wasn’t a great look. When we asked for help on our shisha the guy was useless he couldn’t suggest anything we wanted something sweet but not harsh but he was reluctant to advise which is such a shame because at the banc it’s a different story they literally take the time to suggest flavours and help. Anyways the night was a waste especially for the price you are better off going to the banc ye the aesthetic is nice but it’s not worth the price. Again as we left the security guy did not open the door for us didn’t even say bye as we drove past we saw him outside talking to Indian looking friends across the road, leaving the door unattended.

Work Christmas meal. Food wasn't anything to write about, run of the mill but expensive. Service charge also ridiculous??

This place is so nice every thing 10 /10 definitely going back. Cocktails are a great 👍 food excellent, service 👌

The quality of the food was very mediocre, prices are very high considering what you actually get. The portions were okay and the mango mocktail was nice but apart from that there was nothing else I’d come back for again.

Rubbish food, rubbish service and liars. Really shocked to see so many positive reviews. First and last time going to this restaurant

Amazing food amazing service can’t fault anything ! But very expensive and over priced ! Defo worth a visit on special occasion

The place looks wonderful and the service is top notch. However we were disappointed with the food and the area isn’t the most family friendly. The best thing on this menu was the prawn Tacos, it is a must try!

Decent but expensive. Food was alright could've been better for the price paid.

This restaurant is one of the worst I have been, it is looking nice but the food is so rubbish and tasteless. It is like buying expensive rubbish.The service no good. They don't care about you as a customer. 👎👎👎

Service was great, food not so much.

It’s like having a club and fine dining mixed together, the vibes were absolutely amazing. The food was 10/10, the birthday cake was a beautiful gesture. Would defo come again

I would give 0 stars if I could. It’s cash payment only which is so weird. Is the place even legal? Then they said you can’t serve your own cake but you can take pics. Then threw the box so we couldn’t put the cake back inside. Make it make sense? Don’t go here!

Ladies at the front desk need some training on customer service. Rude and stuck up. Cash only policy too?

Food was ok, service was slow and honestly after spending 1K on dinner, they were e trying to kick us out very fast for the next table…. Poor form. No DJ on a Friday despite being told there would be. Save your time

Place is 10/10 but food 🤮🤮 terrible

Went for my birthday. The starter that we got were on point and very tasty. The prawn taco was a nice touch as I don’t really normally like Mexican. The calamari was tasty. Had lamb chops medium welldone. And I had the raspberry mock tail which came with smoke and a lit up glass. The fire work bday candle was put in the cigar chocolate pudding we ordered which was great too. I was not so keen on the bulgar rice but the salad was great. Toni our waitress was really sweet. Big up Toni! Most important to me is it was all halal. The place was really classy inside too. Defo a birthday vibe. Have to book a couple of days before

It's an alright place to eat. The atmosphere is lovely, you can go as a family meal, birthday/anniversary occasion, dates. Portions are small and overpriced. Not a big variety, Turkish food always comes with a nice big bread and fresh vegetables (tarshish cuts the bread in small bread sticks). If the taste was amazing I would justify it but it's mediocre. Mocktails and cocktails are nice but the bartender should have double strained it because there's chipped ice in the shaker that ends up in the drink. Waiters are very friendly and caring. The creme brulee comes with a little show. I recommend booking a table just in case, even if it's a weekday. There's a nice little space for photo ops aswell. The restaurant is quite dark so keep that in mind. Also the chairs aren't very comfortable with that table height.

Nice food and super helpful staff.

Nice restaurant but felt rushed at table meant to have 2 tables together only to be seated opposite side of the restaurant food came out despite asking for it to be delayed disappointing experience

Went there yesterday , beautiful venue, food and customer service. Only low about venue is the stairs wow. I am disabled my legs are not strong I managed get there and back down with support of friends. But wow. So any one with a wheel chair or can't do stairs this restaurant is not for you which is sad.

Loved this restaurant, the lamb chops and bulgur rice was amazing (one of the best I’ve ever had). Service was good, friendly staff. The atmosphere is pleasant, calm and nice ambience. Aesthetically pleasing too. Had kids menu which is always great for parents like me 😊

Made a reservation for my birthday and on the morning of the reservation there was an accident which forced closure of the motorway. ETA showed 2.5 hours from my house and I finished work at 5, which would mean I would miss my 7pm reservation. I called up at midday to reschedule and I was told I’d be charged a cancellation fee and the woman mikay was very rude. Due to that dealing I do not wish to return and the lack of customer service is awful for this establishment. I have been here in the past and glad that I will not be returning.

Don’t let looks deceive you. Food was terrible. Me and my friend ordered lamb shanks and two mocktails. First of all, the mocktails tasted like nothing special. Felt like it was just ice and rubicon juice and a sprig of mint which we paid for. Lamb shanks - would give it 0 if i had to. Was not coming off the bone as many ‘paid reviews on tiktok” claim it does, we had to confirm with the waiter if it was meant to be like this (hard to get off and extremely chewy) He then went to the kitchen and got us a steak knife to use to cut the meat up which i thought was extremely ridiculous! If i could give points to the actual flavour i would also give 0! Tasted like nothing the only thing that had flavour was the pomegranate seeds. Overall 0.5/5 - food and service was a let down because if the lamb incident.
