"We ordered the set menu and food was nice but had to repeatedly remind the staff about the dessert and coffee, which was included to it. We also needed to repeatedly ask for extra cutlery and plates, in order to avoid sharing food from salads, meat platter etc. given the 'new normal ' situation. Nice atmosphere, although the place was a bit too noisy upstairs, mainly from the kitchen area."

"The service was disappointing. The waitstaff were not friendly or welcoming, and they seemed indifferent and eager to leave early. We received the bill 45 minutes before we finished our meal. While the food was decent, the lack of enthusiasm made the experience feel unappetizing."

"Firstly Little Istanbul has changed owners a few months back and is now called the NAR Meze Grill. The restaurant has had a face lift and the food and service are now excellent. This means that all previous reviews for Little Istanbul no longer apply, including some of the more negative comments. I had a late Sunday lunch with a girlfriend, we enjoyed a very pleasant bottle of chilled Pinot Rose before tucking in to starters and mains. As neither of use eat meat we ordered dishes from the good vegetarian selection but there is also a wide choice of fish and meat. Too full for a pudding."

"The decor inside this restaurant is beautiful and the toilets are very clean. The waiter that welcomed us was polite, helpful and accommodated changes well whereas the waitress didn 't even crack a smile and had poor customer service skills. Asking a customer are you done? before taking their plate is so unprofessional, try would you like me to take your plate? . Her energy was unsettling after we flagged some issues with our food/bill. We were charged for a side of rice that hadn 't actually arrived with the meal but this was easily amended when settling the bill. 2 cocktails were made without alcohol as a mistake and they were courteous and let us have those drinks free of charge. This was appreciated. The atmosphere was calm but would have been better if there was some Turkish music playing in the background while dining to make it a more authentic dining experience. My lamb saute meal arrived warm and disappointingly didn 't taste of much despite having a 'special sauce '. My partners lamb shish was quite chewy. The rice was lovely and fluffy, nice chips and the Tabouleh was refreshing. The passionfruit mojito was sweet and delicious but tasted like a mocktail so we had to ask for more alcohol to be added. Thankyou for the experience but unfortunately I wouldn 't be rushing back here."

"Fantastic restaurant, with a really homey feel. We were looking for a real Greek/Cypriot taverna, with reasonable prices, and simple home-cooked ingredients. All the waiters (including the chef, who came out a few times to check on us) were incredibly friendly, and you can tell they are passionate about serving delicious food. We had a whole grilled fish and the moussaka, both of which were excellent and homemade. They do also offer an extensive (and incredibly priced) tasting menu of greek mezzes, which we will certainly try next time. Highly recommend this restaurant!"

"It 's arguably the place to go to in the area based on the dining room presentation and great service. We couldn 't find fault with anything, but obviously the food is down to personal preference. The presentation of the sheekh kebab was excellent, served on a skillet with an impressive looking salad. As we shared the starter they generously provided an additional salad plate. I like my food packed with flavour and a bit of heat. Similarly do does the wife but with much less heat. Just for a change I went with a sag pathia, the wife a dupiaza. Superb chicken in both our mains, and we enjoyed the sides. One odd thing was that the Kulfi dessert comprised of two of those dalek looking portions. Not the cheapest around but well worth it especially as you can take your own alcohol. Parking may be an issue but it 's definitely worth a short walk if needed."

"It was alright food but sadly not great food. The curry spices had a good balance but didn’t delight and the non meat portions were on the generous side especially the rice. The grilled peshwari bread was the biggest taste disappointment as it tasted only sugary but then it was only £3. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the seating was ok; the decor is a bit 1970’s. I had a paneer main dish, which was fine but honestly, and I do keep referencing the fact that M&S curries are so much better flavoured and generously portioned. My wife had tandoor chicken shashlik main there was no tandoor used in cooking our food here) so the flavour was just sort of alright if you want to be kind when it could have been great. All the food arrived really piping hot. This was a first for us, in that where we come from, if one orders from the tandoori part of the main menu a curry sauce comes with the order but here it was a separate charge. The poppadoms too were extra when again we usually get them complimentary. The bill was £55 for two curry mains, a pilau rice, a way overcooked potato and cauliflower side, sweet nan, a pint of beer £5) and a 175ml glass of rosé. We added a tip ourselves. There were only two other diners at 7pm on a Thursday night. I doubt we’ll return not because it was bad but because it’s just not good enough. Here’s the thing, as eat out prices are rising folks who do dine out now rightly expect a full flavour darn good dine experience not oh well that was just ok. Summing up, although it’s a restaurant the food seemed more like what you’d cook at home as an amateur working from no skill or knowledge f Asian cooking or how to use spices to impress guests and from the cheapest ingredients you could find from an average supermarket."
