The overall experience is positive. Mezes were quite delicious and outstanding (White chocolate babagannus and Humus with dates) which I have not tasted anywhere else before. We ordered Adana as the main course. it was delicious and but portion was quite small and there was nothing as a side dish as rice, cooked vegetables and the service was made in a small plate which showed it like hot starter not the main course. I'd work on changing the way Adana is served and it was quite expensive. there was also no Kids menu.. Price/Value ratio could also be something to improve.

The service was excellent, and the food looked great. But I found the meat very bland and if they didn't have sauces to compliment the meal then it would have very bad and not worth the money at all. Better Turkish food places for fraction the cost.
