"24/8/20 We three middle aged SE Londoners from Lewisham are taking advantage of the Government subsidised Eat Out To Help Out scheme. I had wanted to sample the delights of Lewisham for years but had budget restrictions. This was an opportunity to redress this. We turned up on spec quite late on a Monday at 21:20 to find a large deep busy restaurant of mixed families and groups of young people, quite noisy but a good atmosphere. The staff were young too in general. The pavement tables were all full and we were taken to a table toward the back. We took seats and as the staff were so busy it took a little time to be presented with the menus I nearly grabbed them from the service station myself). They were busy though so give them credit. The music was interesting Turkish versions of popular songs, Isla Bonita included! The menu was large and varied and we chose a beer each along with the main courses, no side dishes or starters. At 22:45 A waitress popped a small plate of olives and wooden bowl of pitta bread on the table, which was welcomed. The draft Tuborg Turkish brewed) beer arrived at 22:50 and we toasted the meal to come. As it was busy the food was taking a while to arrive and we ate all the tasty olives and most of the bread. Another waiter popped over and asked if we wanted a refill, we said yes and he returned with a larger plate of olives than original which was welcome! At 22:05 the main courses started to arrive. The portions were generous, my friend especially liked the chunky Swordfish dish £14) with the trimmings. I had Fish Guvec £17), a mixed seafood with cheddar cheese topping, which was hot and delicious! Our friend really enjoyed his Salmon Tava £15). I had bulgar instead of rice as a change and it was tasty. The side salads were also good. As the evening went on the families left and the noise decreased. Others arrived quite late 22:45) but were happily served. The mains went down well and I decided to have a rice pudding so ordered it from the waiter. My friends ordered another beer I was happy) between them and the waiter said he would bring two glasses to share it, that was good of him, instead of ordering two smaller more expensive beers. I waited for the rice pudding... and waited, obviously being made fresh I thought. We chatted with the waiters as they relaxed and the back staff came out to clear up the front trays. At 11 the rice pudding finally arrived, it was in an aluminium tray and chilled! The waiter apologised as he had completely forgotten he said! We forgave him! It had been a very busy day! The staff relaxed at the end of a busy night. The EOTHO days had been busy as Friday the waiter said. By 23:05 we ordered the bill which came printed including the 50% discount for the food £9.75 each). The total was £39.25 in total and we left a £4 tip. We left at 23:15 thoroughly repeat and sated."

Ordered food, wasn't delivered, they didn't contact me, when I rang they were very rude. They said that I was calling them a liar

This restaurant is absolutely delightful and welcoming. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the portions were generous. We were especially impressed with how they went above and beyond to assist us when our taxi was late. I highly recommend this restaurant. View menu

Had lunch here with my godaughter . First visit for a long time but as good as ever. Freshly prepared tasty food and lovely friendly service from Glen whose recommendation of Kalmar calamari) was spot on. Restaurant is nicely decorated and it is easy to forget you are in the middle of Lewisham High Street. A welcome oasis.

Strongly advise to avoid. Ordered a bunch of food for the family, all arrived and half the items had been replaced with random stuff we didn 't even know what it was which was not helpful as some people had allergies. Called to complain didn 't get an apology or anything the guy simply said 'oh yeah the restaurant was out of stock of those items there is nothing we can do '..... no replacement of foods ordered and after 5 minutes of being on hold he said they can offer a refund if we come into the restaurant.. would never order again.

Paid £35 for takeaway dinner food via JustEat, made my order at 17:20 and request to be delivered at 18:30. Restaurant cheating the food has been delivered 19:40 on JustEat (very smartass) which is never done, we were making tens of phone calls to the restaurant, every time the staff compromised that delivery driver is 10 mins away, we fight for our food till 20:50 then the last phone call that restaurant staff just advised me, talk to the manager and do whatever I want, but the food is still 5mins away from my door. The delivery driver finally knocked on my door at 21:40, and we are already preparing to sleep for the next day. I of course refused to accept the dinner delivery at this bed ti... View menu

I have had food twice here, and I have also ordered coffee from the coffee shop next door(Same owner, different manager). The food is generally fine(nothing spectacular at all, and the service is generally mediocre or borderline bad). I have had Lamb beyti years ago in a different resturant and it was very tasty, the one i had here was too cheap and lacked taste or presentation. I also ordered a takeout Pide which was all jumbled(smashed on top of each other). Not good man, the pide did taste good non the less, and since I was eating it by myself it was fine, but this would be awful if i was sharing it with family or friends. Customer service is generally poor as most staff don’t speak good...

On 04/09/20 I ordered take away at 18:45 to be collected at 8:00. From the beginning I explained to the waiter who took my order that I could only order food without garlic as my partner is allergic to it. He replied no garlic indicating the menu as if there was no garlic in any of the dishes. I pointed to items on the menu that clearly stated there was garlic and then explained again that I only wanted food with no garlic. I then proceeded to order Fish Guvec and Sac Tava plus bread. I made it clear that no garlic should be in the food. The waiter was very dismissive and openly laughed at me when I said that my partner is allergic to garlic which makes him very ill. I asked him to check wit...
