The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Yorkshire and The Humber

1. Food Quality: The food did not meet my expectations. The main dishes lacked the authentic Eastern flavors, and some were not well-cooked. The desserts were also disappointing, with a bland taste that didn’t reflect the rich flavors of traditional Syrian sweets. Rating: 3/10 2. Coffee: The coffee was far from satisfying. Instead of being rich and strong like Arabic coffee should be, it was watery and tasted more like juice. It lacked the proper texture and flavor and wasn’t served in the right way. Rating: 2/10 3. Prices: The prices were very high compared to the quality of food and drinks. Neither the dishes, desserts, nor the coffee were worth the money paid. Rating: 3/10 4. Service: The service was okay but not exceptional. The staff were friendly, but there wasn’t much attention to detail Rating: 6/10 5. Atmosphere and Decor: The decor was the best part of the experience. The restaurant’s design was inspired by the heritage of Damascus, with beautiful details that created an authentic Eastern vibe. The atmosphere was cozy and rich in Syrian culture. Rating: 9/10 6. Cleanliness: The restaurant was generally clean, both in the dining area and other facilities. Rating: 8/10 Final Rating: While the restaurant offers great decor and a unique Eastern atmosphere, the quality of the food, coffee, and desserts was disappointing, especially with such high prices. Overall Rating: 4/10

First time we’ve been and it definitely will not be the last time! The service of all staff is outstanding and everyone is very friendly. We were pleased with the vegetarian options and they were delicious! We tried the Mücver and Dolmades for starters, the Spanakopita and Chickpea & Spinach Delight for mains and the Baklava and Tiramisu for dessert with some Turkish Tea and everything was stunning! We can’t wait to come back and try some more dishes! Thank you!

Excellent food and not small portions.

Food was good service was good . Bit expensive. Had a bottle of wine really expensive. But they did drown the gin with Lemonade. Nice for a treat but bit expensive on the pocket

Its a gem in the center of York near the most tourist attractions. The staff and the owner Resit is are extremely friendly and professional. The beyti kebab was a treat made me feel like i was in a restaurant in Turkiye . It was served with homemade chili sauce , fresh salad and pide bread it was absolutely delicious and very well presented . The restaurants is very clean and had a great atmosphere. Don’t forget to try baklava and Turkish tea after your main course.

First time, and it won't be the last Great food, the staff are very good .

First time visiting Site and it won't be the last. Great atmosphere and staff. The General Manager was very welcoming and made our visit most enjoyable. Pizzas were amazing and the White Chocolate/Lemon Cheesecake and Tiramisu were very naughty, but nice ! We'll be back soon to this little hidden gem.

Quiet when we went early evening, but filling up as we left , on street parking on a main road not ideal but doable .the food was excellent and not over expensive service was quick and polite, the two waitress working hard ,
