We have been regulars for years but noticed the standards slipping last couple of visits. At the same time prices have been increasing and no longer represents good value . Over £80 for a 2 course meal without wine is just too much for a local restaurant with average quality food. Just piling your plate with rice and salad with a few lumps of gristly lamb ( I had the shish) just isn’t worth the money . My wife’s salmon was greasy and tasteless. We ordered a baklava to finish which was stale and bitter . The waiter said it was allegedly homemade but possibly 2 days old. We didn’t have to pay for this . We won’t be returning again .

29/01/2023……We decided to visit this restaurant for the first upon reading all the reviews for Sunday lunch . Myself, wife and daughter were pretty delighted with the freshness and taste of the food. Wife was so impressed that she recommended we now make this our regular restaurant. Could have given 5* if we were seated further down into the restaurant as it was warmer in there. We were the only guest when we arrived and it was a very cold Sunday afternoon.

We are regular diners and overall the food and service is good but prices have been creeping up and therefore value is not what it was . We will continue to dine here but perhaps not as regularly.

Restaurant was very good, loved the downlighting on the table. Would of preferred to be sitting in another area of it as there was a Birthday party going on with young children running around very noisily.
