So impressed thank you!”

“Exceptional service and very kind staff. Would recommend as this is my go to pizza place. :)”

“Wow! Absolutely delicious food with great portion sizes. We will definitely go there again. The service was excellent.”

“Delicious food, I can wholeheartedly recommend chicken milanese burger and salmon and prawns pasta. Fresh and delicious!”

“Well... I've never used this indian before but i was pleasantly surprised. I orderd a meal for delivery at 10.40pm (20 mins before closing) and they still accepted my order even though it was going to take around 40 mins to deliver, as a first time customer this surprised me. The food was still hot when delivered and the delivery guy was very pleasant. Down to the grub... We had shami kebab and onion bhaji for starters and they where some of the best we've ever eaten, and we've had a few Indian meals in our time. I forgot the name of main we had but it was spiced chicken in a light tangy sauce with ginger, chilli and onions. Once again this was beautifully made and tasty. The rice and naan breads we had were also spot on and the bombay potatoes were beautiful. So, if you're hungry and are in two minds about picking this restaurant i hope my review may help you in your choice.”

“If you’re looking for the best fish and chips this side of Essex, look no further! This place is, without a doubt, a standout among all the fish and chip shops I’ve tried, and I’ve tried plenty. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take pride in their food. The aroma hits you right away—fresh fish, crispy batter, and perfectly fried chips.First, let’s talk about the fish. It’s always fresh, never greasy, and the batter has that perfect crunch you dream of. They clearly use high-quality ingredients because the taste is phenomenal every time. The chips are equally as impressive—golden, fluffy on the inside, and crisp on the outside. They’re seasoned just right, and you can tell they care about the little details here. You won’t find soggy fries or overcooked fish, just perfection on a plate.I’ve visited multiple times, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The service is friendly and fast, and no matter how busy it gets, the quality never slips. I’m now making it a point to stop by every week because it’s become my go-to spot for comfort food. Whether you’re dining in or taking it home, it’s always a win.In short, this place is a gem. If you love traditional fish and chips, it doesn’t get any better than this. Trust me, you’ll be hooked after one visit. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent 3 course meal for 2 with wine and coffee for £66 . My swordfish was huge and superb. Waiter very attentive. Toilets were impeccable. Will definitely recommend and return!”

“We ordered sushi on the website and by accident I placed the order twice. The restaurant kindly called me to clarify which I really appreciate. The food quality was amazing, and the portions good.

I had the smoked haddock, and it was cooked to perfection — fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere — it’s relaxed and inviting, with a real community feel. You can tell it’s run with care and love. I’ll definitely be back soon.

The dishes are original and delicious. They were so sweet, they even gave my parents a free bottle of wine as a gift when they found out it was their anniversary x”

“Quick service, friendly staff and fresh and tasty food. Value 4 money too.”

“Easily cheaper than the other local options, better quality food too and greater quantities of good with the orders. The garlic bread with cheese is delicious and never let's you down. Take it from a Turk. They're good at what they do and they are our regulars now. Teşekkürler Effendim”

“Just had the loveliest experience here and had to share.. Eating out with a little one can be a bit nerve wracking and we've sometimes been made to feel like a real inconvenience...not here! The staff were fantastic with my little girl and so friendly and welcoming. My little one devoured the cracker kindly offered to her (she refused the food I brought with me!) The lady even wiped her hands and played with her, giving me the chance to enjoy the siracha eggs I'd ordered (which were delicious by the way). Wish I'd visited here sooner but certainly gave me the confidence to come back again. Thank you”

“Me and my family love this place, food is amazing they serve it while its still steaming to show its cooked through. Service is great, the workers is really nice me and my family go a lot the workers know us quite well which is also nice. But overall yall deserve 5 stars im coming back soon!”

“Lovely little cafe, great service and the kitchen was really accommodating for my dietary requirements. Nice atmosphere and not too crowded for an evening meal.”
