Ordering Strategy

This place is built for groups—order a sharing platter to get the full experience and endless bread refills. Absolutely save room for the kunefe dessert.

What to order

Safe first

Garlic Prawns

Described as a skewer of 'fearsomely large' and 'utterly glorious' prawns fresh off the charcoal, coated in a potent garlic and parsley marinade.

Hungry

Full Platter

The review emphasizes the 'sheer sense of largesse' where 'sharing platters' of kebabs and ribs are 'in full swing' and there is 'no chance of leaving hungry.'

Wildcard

Kunefe

Grace Dent calls this 'wickedly good' and 'one of the best' she has ever encountered; a warm, syrup-drenched pistachio pastry served with ice cream.

What to skip

Skip
Small Mixed Cold MezeCriticized as expensive for what it is—'unmemorable hummus' and plain yoghurt—especially compared to the 'glorious' hot grill items.

Good to know

It gets very busy and loud, making it better for families and big groups than intimate dates. Portions are enormous.
