The food was soooo good!

Started with turkish bread (complementary) which was yum!

The Manti was the highlight for us. But the mezze platter and lamb kebab was no less - very tasty.

The dessert- instabul dreams was exceptional too but especially the warm atmosphere. Zainab and Elvan filled the place with warmth and fun conversation.

Would definitely come again just for the Manti
