just had a fantastic meal with the wifey here. We had the hummus & platter no1 for 2 people. The food was fabulous and had to have some as a take out as there was that much. The young lady that served us couldn't do enough for us. The chef came over to say hi and he was really nice and was happy to explain what was in the sauces etc. Genuine people and wanted us to have a great experience and we did. Definatley going back. I would highly recommend.

Big Dissapointment!!! Again... Thrice bitten now, there won't be a forth. Quality has seriously dropped. Used to be very good but not anymore. Stale bread, stale salad, or I should say, Lettuce as no other veg in it. Meat Quality has also declined. Very expensive. I Will not be back as one can get alot better Quality for the pound elsewhere. My advice, AVOID......

What a disappointment! The worst kebab ever! Massive disaster! Very expensive . Delivery was late. Please do a favour for yourself and don’t even bother to spend your money and time on Valentines! Awful! They shouldn’t even advertise themselves as a kebab shop!

Had a takeaway after visiting hospital food and service were really good. Good choice on the menu and reasonable prices with good portions.

Amazing takeaway tonight and will not be our last order. I have always purchased from other Turkish restaurants in Newport and never this place. Can’t believe we have never known how good it is, what a hidden gem. The bread is so fluffy and fresh! It was delicious and huge portions. The meat was unbelievable, so tender and really good quality. Came with rice and chips and I ordered extra as normally we need to. I did not need to bother as again huge portions! By far the best Turkish in Newport.

Very simple interior, clean, well kept annex to a busy takeaway and bakery. Excellent food, freshly prepared and a great selection, we had the grill platter between two of us, lamacun,humus, and falafel, it arrived with a tasty simple fresh salad and fresh bread. I love Turkish tea, and it was served although not on the menu. A 1.5l bottle of soft drink was only £3.00 . Overall an excellent meal, very friendly staff, fresh food, and an excellent experience. Will definitely visit again, we live 30 miles away, near Monmouth, well worth the drive. Several proper old Newport pubs nearby also worth a visit.

Unfortunately a payment was taken twice, and 2 deliveries were delivered with 5 minutes of each other. When I spoke to the restaurant a child who answered told me ‘that ain’t our problem init’ do not order from here.

Me and the wife walked in on a quiet Monday afternoon, initially warmly greeted by the owner who told us to sit. When he came to take the order, he was in such a haste, his concentration was on his mate few tables away. Once we got to the drinks order he left before we could order the drinks as his food was served. So I had to go to the counter to get the drinks from the man behind the counter. Whilst the owner was just sitting there eating with his mate. This was followed by more of his mates joining after. This felt more like a place for his friends then customers. Now the food was uninspiring, my wife’s lamb chops were well over done, almost to the point of burnt. The rice was undercooked. I actually had a decent daily specials ( only good part of the experience). All in all I would avoid, there are plenty of good Turkish food places 30 seconds walk from this place. Avoid!

This is a Turkish owned and run restaurant with the usual menu of kebabs etc. The lamb soup is very good but for me it’s the really good lentil soup that makes me come back. Vine leaves are great and salad fresh Generous helpings, lovely home made breads and pide. Low on drinks choice but the atmosphere and staff are warm and welcoming. Good food at a reasonable price.

This is a simple and small place but very clean and food is amazing and cheap. Food is freshly cooked and served hot and fast. We attended today Saturday as group of 12 women friends for a brunch or call it a banquet. They started with coffee, water then traditional tea, followed by numerous traditional Turkish dishes (salads, Lahm Ajeen, Pida, Borak, grilled cheese, Kaymak, honey, labna, olives, delicious Turkish bread, shakshooka..... I can not even remember it all. The owner of the place Sherine was attending us, he was very pleasant, funny and even took photos with our mobiles. We had amazing time. There is NCP car park almost one minute walk on the same side of the road for £1 up to 2 hours and £2.50 up to 5 hours.

Nice atmosphere and really really lovely staff, just not authentic Spanish I’m afraid. Wine list was surprisingly limited for decent Spanish wine and a few classic Spanish dishes weren’t even available. For example they offer garlic bread instead of pan con tomato. Still on the hunt for an authentic local Spanish tapas spot 🙏 really nice spot and good service if you aren’t after the authenticity :)

What a fantastic find. Beautiful food in really intimate setting. Food delivered by the chef, giving his recommendations as well. Will definitely go back to try the dishes we didn’t manage to fit in this time.
