Une expérience inoubliable dans un restaurant plein de surprises dans le menu
Notamment l'accueil des serveuses à l'instar surtout la serveuse Kahina
Merci pour votre accueil
I'll start by saying we went for brunch for the experience. The food is served in a beautiful contraption that comes with Turkish black tea. A wide variety of cheeses, fresh vegetables, eggs, olives & sweet jams. All was very good.
Weeks later we decided to try dinner takeaway. We ordered the grilled mix platter. A huge portion probably enough for
4 people even though its advertised for 2. Different types of charcoal cooked meats, bulgur, lots of salads, yogurt sauce & Turkish bread. Was a solid 10/10. Was so so good!!!
I did see reviews on a language barrier & I agree. The food however, is fantastic! Cannot wait to try more from their menu.

We came with our family for Christmas night dinner & had a wonderful experience. I ordered the grill mix & guvec, & both dishes were absolutely delicious. The food was clearly halal & cooked perfectly.
The environment was cozy & welcoming, & the owner, manager, & all the staff were incredibly friendly & attentive. We truly loved the warm vibes & overall atmosphere.
I was really looking forward to brunch here, having heard great things. The service was excellent, very attentive. The food was great, the bread was delicious, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. One thing that stood out was the quality of the jams & cheese. They were delicious but they tasted quite similar to what you'd find at Costco, which made me question how homemade they really were.
