Franchement, j'suis vraiment déçu de ce restaurant. Pour une place qui se dit turque, c'est vraiment pas à la hauteur, là. Les saveurs sont fades, ça goûte pas pantoute la vraie cuisine turque. Si vous avez déjà mangé de la vraie bouffe turque, vous allez voir que ça se compare même pas. J'y remettrai pas les pieds, c'est sû
