    Booked online and visited Bursa Kebap Evo Restaurant, seat was beautifully decorated and reserved for my daughter’s 25th birthday attended by 5 people. The staff were very professional and welcoming. The food was warm, very well presented with variety of different dishes, and drinks were ordered to our choice and taste. We felt we’re in Turkey- Honestly, it was a taste of Turkey 🇹🇷. The environment was quiet, close to bus tops and easy to reach. The staff made it a memorable day for my daughter and family and food price was reasonable. I will always recommend Bursa Kebap Evo Restaurant to friends, well wishers and family.
