"excellent in a family or corporate or event restaurant. this place is not Chi Chi Chi or sniffy. Just really good. they are greeted with warmth at the door. at the table they are presented with hearty, warm flat brot with a yogurt-based dip. yum. our Calamari starter was perfectly cooked with a small green salad on the plate and a delicate rémoulade sauce, not hot, not garlicky and not red. as my wife and I are fischaholics our main was their charcoal grilled whole sea bass. this was presented perfectly with colored rice and an salat on the plate. the bass was skillfully prepared with delicate crumbling and olive oil, which did not fight with the mild taste of the fish. the skin of the fish was perfectly cristed. with all this we had a bottle of her non-vintage Turkish white wine kavaklidere cankaya. the cankaya is moderately fed with medium acid; perfectly dry without edges in mouth. mund textur is like a fully mature white bordeaux. the nose and the palate is dominated by honigtaumel with a hauch of fresh coward. the finish is medium. Yeah, all this about a white wine I've never heard of. that was dessert baclava, of course. that was perfectly presented with three large pieces on our plates. we had the baclava with its authentic Turkish tee... sugar, yes; milk, no. twisted with Turkish coffee. all for 80 pfund for two. as besides: I lived in the turkey in the 1970s and I own a fine restaurant in America, but now in the opposite. I have eaten in stars restaurants in France and italy. I think I know when a restaurant shoots on all cylinders and this is here. book them early as there are limited tables in this little gem of a restaurant. kudos an ray of the owner. he is a young and enthusiastic businessman and wants them to be satisfied. go to the mosaic grill and look forward to it."

"We went to this restaurant as a large family after a nice day out for Eid. We usually eat at Turkish restaurants and ordered a mix of BBQ, doner and very overpriced kids meals (nuggets and chips £8.95? . Compared to other restaurants, the appetisers were very small and four adults having to share one very small portions and the salad had no tomato and very dry. We had to constantly ask for things from very uninterested waiters, including Turkish bread and water. When the food arrived: the adana kebab were very small, literally half the size of other restaurants. The 2 skewers put together would equal one elsewhere. the lamb shish only 4 small cubes? very small portions of chicken doner for THAT price all the BBQ meals did not have anything next to them apart from the meat and chips no salad, no onion, no grilled tomato Also, the menu says each meal has mushroom and this was not provided. To top it off, we were given a piece of sweet and asked if we wanted tea and we said yes. A minute later, they came back to tell us there is no tea and would take 25 minutes and we felt like we were being kicked out of the restaurant with the way it was said. Since when does it take that long to make tea? When we mentioned to the waiter, the reply was 'I gave you more than enough ' This was an awful experience and ruined a very enjoyable day for us. This is not cheap and we will not recommend this to anyone."

"Essentially we were thrown out of the restaurant shortly after 11pm. The whole meal was rushed and the quality poor. We went to Shish and Mangal after a lengthy discussion about what to eat (as couples do). There were no customers in the restaurant. Upon arrival at 10pm we were told we had to order before 10:30pm because the kitchen closed at that time. This was not a problem as we were both starving. We ordered a beer, bottle of wine, two starters and two main meals. Everything came out in quick succession. It was a little faster than I would have liked between starter and main meals. Halfway through the main meal we were asked to pay so the staff could close the till. We paid to assist, but I was shocked we were asked at that point of the meal. I had to ask for the music to be put back on at one point, as we were sat in silence. At the end of our meal my partner told the waitress his main meal was not very good. She went to the kitchen and came back saying she agreed it wasn’t as good as it should have been. He asked for a refund and was told he couldn’t have one because they had closed the till! He was asked to call in the next day because the waitress didn’t actually work there, she was helping out as a favour?! We of course felt very uncomfortable about this and told the waitress we were not happy to leave without the refund. She told us she had a bus to get and family to get home to, so we needed to leave. There was nothing she could do. We argued our case politely and the waitress was screaming at us. I told the waitress she was very rude. She told us my partner should have complained at the start of his meal and not at the end. Frankly I was flabbergasted by the whole thing. I asked for details about the owner and again the waitress told me she didn’t have this information, except for a first name, because she was asked to help out as a favour but didn’t know who she was working for? The waitress put a cork in our wine and we left about £75 lighter. No refund and with a bad taste in our mouths. Had we been told we needed to be finished and out of the restaurant by a particular time, we would have ordered to take away and saved money having beer and wine at home. We paid a premium for the the experience of sitting in the restaurant and we were made to feel rushed and a problem for the staff. I will not eat here ever again and I am in no way surprised there were no other customers based on my experience. Save your money and eat elsewhere!"
