1. Adem Gultekin ★★★★☆

   I had to take my son to West Ham train station, and my wife wanted to join us for the journey. Since it was during the early hours of the morning, we anticipated heavy traffic, which added extra time to our trip. After dropping off my son, we thought it would be a good idea to grab some breakfast. A quick Google search led me to a café with a Turkish name, which immediately caught my attention. Out of curiosity, we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, I noticed that there was limited but available parking right in front of the shop. It required payment via phone or a parking app, so I paid £2.50 for an hour. The café was quiet, so quiet, in fact, that we were the only customers at the time. One of the first things I noticed, as always, was the temperature inside. While it wasn’t freezing, it wasn’t warm enough to feel truly comfortable and relaxed. We quickly browsed the menu and ordered a cheese omelette, a Mediterranean breakfast, and tea. As expected, the tea was served in mugs rather than a traditional teapot, which I find disappointing. It has now become a personal grievance of mine. I strongly prefer my tea served properly in a pot, and I doubt I’ll ever change my mind about it. The omelette was not particularly impressive. One side was overcooked, making it rough and a bit chewy. However, the Turkish sausage was a standout, it was the best I’ve had in a long time. I even asked about the brand, but the staff couldn’t provide an answer. Unlike many Turkish sausages that tend to be overly spicy or heavily garlicky, this one had the perfect balance of flavors. More importantly, it didn’t upset my stomach, which is something I usually struggle with after consuming this type of sausage. As for the Mediterranean breakfast, it was decent but not particularly rich in variety. The feta cheese, which was listed on the menu, turned out to be more like a mozzarella-style cheese, which was a bit of a letdown. The overall cost was reasonable, which is exactly what you’d expect for a casual café like this. The place was clean and tidy, though the toilet’s location was a bit inconvenient. You have to walk some distance to reach it, and the light switch was oddly placed on the wall, making it difficult to find at first, I even had to use my phone’s flashlight to locate it. In my opinion, this café is a decent spot for a casual visit if you happen to be in the area. However, it’s not a place I would go out of my way to visit again. It’s a basic café with a menu that also includes Turkish-style kebabs and other dinner options, but since I didn’t try those, I can’t comment on their quality. Would I recommend it? If you’re nearby and need a quick bite, sure. But if you're looking for a memorable breakfast experience, there are likely better options elsewhere.

   Been waiting for it to open at 7am. The boss or chef is sitting having a cigarette at 7.40am, I ask him are you open, No. 10 minutes later. So you CLEARLY DON'T OPEN AT 7AM! Food and atmosphere is top notch, unbeatable and halal. Actual customer service is also superb but the opening hours should be fixed.

   Parked my car at KiwkFit and this was the best cafe to eat at. Overall it was great, service was amazing. I asked for no beans and mushrooms, the owner decided to give me extra hash brown and bacon which was really nice of her.

   This recently converted Café to a Turkish restaurant has mixed opinions from me and the person I dined with. We ordered the Fish with rice and salad and Mixed doner with rice. Positive points are - Salad was good, fresh and not too overpowering, could do with more onions. Bread was the standard type you get in Turkish restaurants, nothing special but compliments the meal. Fish was good, nothing special but cooked well and not burned or anything. Solid dish but lacks that something to make it an amazing dish. Mixed doner - The chicken doner was good, flavourful meat and juicy too. A good choice to get alone. The lamb doner however was not nice at all. The meat was juicy but the flavour was unlike anything I had before, not in a good way. It was cheesy like they added parmesan cheese to it. When you bite into it, that's all I tasted, this strong cheesy parmesan flavour and then the meat flavour came after. This is a definite miss as it stands now. The rice also missed the mark, it was way too soft and clumpy. There was no flavour to it and was just plain. This will benefit from a savoury overhaul that isn't clumpy. Seating arrangements was good, recently refurbished so it's nice and suiting for a restaurant. I leave this review in hopes they improve on the things mentioned. The rice especially, as it formulates many parts of the menu.
