We came here while passing by for some food in the evening and were pretty disappointed. I have a gluten intolerance, and there were only two mains I could have on the printed menu - but on the website more options are advertised as gluten free via an icon, such as the feijoada. So it was all a bit confusing and I really wanted the feijoada, but when I asked our server she just referred me to the menu and didn't seem to know anything about it. The lack of knowledge and options is surprising as Brazilian cuisine is generally pretty good for gluten free options. I had the prato baiano which had small cubed bits of gristly chicken in it, and my partner had a burger that wasn't particularly good. The atmosphere wasn't great as some band was setting up the whole time we were there, so no music or atmosphere. We wouldn't come back.

Stepping into this restaurant is like being transported straight to Türkiye. The ambiance is authentic and inviting, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is nothing short of exquisite, featuring a variety of traditional Turkish dishes that are rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Each dish we ordered was a culinary delight, bursting with unique and tantalizing flavors that left us craving more. Additionally, the restaurant offers a commendable range of vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring that everyone can find something delicious to enjoy. Their drink selection is impressive, with an extensive list of cocktails to choose from. Although I opted for beer, I was pleased to find they offer Efes on draught, a renowned Turkish lager that complemented my meal perfectly. The service was exceptional, thanks to our waitress, Marta. Her warm and attentive care made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, patiently explaining the dishes and helping us navigate the menu, which was a blessing since it was our first foray into Turkish cuisine. Overall, it was a delightful experience that I highly recommend. Whether you're a fan of Turkish food or new to the cuisine, this restaurant offers a taste adventure that's hard to beat. With options for every dietary preference, it truly caters to all.

Absolutely incredible meal, way and above the nicest steak I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, we had a variety of steaks and the Presa Ibérico pork which was delicious. Our server Manuela was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with recommendations. Two of our party are coeliac and the vast majority of the menu was suitable and there was no concerns at all about being gluten free. Couldn't fault the place in anyway. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. 10/10.
