Our story

One grill, one family.

We are a family-run Turkish restaurant, and we cook the way we learned at home. Fourteen years in, the food is still homemade and grilled over charcoal when you order it.

It means your lamb shish goes on the coals when you order it, and not a minute before. That takes a little longer, and it reaches your table fresh off the grill.

What we do

Four ways to eat with us.

The place

Come and sit down.

Skewers of chicken and lamb laid across the charcoal grill, smoke rising off the coals
Marinated chicken pieces turning golden over the open charcoal
A full tray of vine leaves rolled by hand before service, glossy with olive oil
Blistered Turkish flatbread torn into pieces and piled in a wooden bowl
A wooden platter of cold mezze — hummus, cacık, a beetroot dip, smoked aubergine and a stuffed vine leaf
A sharing platter of charcoal-grilled lamb, chicken, kofte and rolled beyti on rice, with a grilled tomato in the middle
Lamb chops, chicken and kofte piled on a silver platter with grilled peppers and tomato
Charcoal-grilled chicken in butter and tomato sauce, finished with yoghurt, in a clay dish
