Interesting place. Friendly service. Disappointed with the Lamb Tandoor. Found the Lamb very dry. The Sultan's Delight was better with more flavour. The Manti were the tastiest of the mains, but beware it is a very rich dish. Our favourite was the Kisir Salad. Delicious, full of flavour.

The five star reviews are very accurate. I went with a girlfriend last night. We're both very particular about food and atmosphere and we weren't disappointed on either front. It's slightly off the beaten path in the Junction and as a result I think people overlook it. But PLEASE go by! The food was lovely and sophisticated, the interiors were bright and airy but super cozy and welcoming at the same time! The stuffed vine leaves were honestly the best I've...

Very tasty and unique! The meat dumplings are a must, I’ve never tried anything like it. The muhammara and grape stuffed leaves were delicious too. No complaints except for the pricing, the dishes are quite expensive and have pretty small servings, on par with fine dining restaurants without the same ambiance and effort.
