For the service, the restaurant refused to seat us earlier than our reservation time despite having several empty tables. Regarding the meal, it was overpriced for what we received (€77). The side dish for the main course was disappointing - a single half tomato to share between two people. Additionally, the dish lacked sauce; we requested some, but it never arrived. As for the ambiance, the restaurant was crowded and noisy, far from relaxing. Overall, it’s a very basic restaurant and definitely not worth the price we paid.

Don't buy wine here. The food is really good but the wine has not been stored properly and is sharp - no problem if you don't drink wine - food is great.

We had the set menu and enjoyed a collection of very tasty dishes. The hospitality was very nice as we were able to sit back and the set menu was brought to us at a good pace, allowing us to both enjoy the meal and each other's company. The breads were excellent, and I enjoyed the spicy beef/lamb meat dish.

The restaurant did not have my fork reservation but found me a table. Our menu choices were altered under the advice of the waiter, and the options suggested were expensive. We opted for one of the choices, which was extremely overpriced and in no way worth it. We paid €100 euros for an average meal. Would not recommend the restaurant, sadly.

The lamb chops were delicious. Şaşlık was good. The kebap was probably the best we had in Netherlands. Cig kofte was ok. Tulum, Girit Efesi were very good as well. The bread they serve is also warm and tasty. A bit pricey but if you miss Turkish Kebab, you may overlook the prices once a month.

The staff was very harsh to us. I have been there at least 7 times it is the first time i got treated so badly. I recommend the management to track their staff behavior. They were serving us in a hurry answering in a hurry as if they were telling us eat fast and felt the hell out of here. Normally i tip up to 30% this is the first time I decided not to tip and I left the restaurant angry.

I was very happy with the ambiance and service, especially the long haired man smiling person which is good. but the food has serious problems with the taste. With such a taste, it is impossible for them to hold on to the competition in Turkey.

A bit disappointing since the prices are really high but taste is below average. We had to sent back our kebab since it wasnt cooked. Mezes (tapas) were ok, but definitely not the traditional taste. We paid €80 p.p. and i personally wouldnt go again.
