Excellent food and warm welcome for our first visit to Morpeth. We were celebrating the end of 78 days of avoiding sweet treats, bread and alcohol so allowed ourself to indulge in a little of the pita bread with our starters and a dessert of cheesecake for the girlfriend and ice cream for me. Everything was wonderful. Service exceptional, recommendations given and the food was delicious. I'm not a fan of halloumi but the rest of the hot mixed platter was wonderful. The menu was tremendous and the food fresh, tasty and at a good price. Hope to return.

Lovely restaurant, we found it by chance whilst shopping in Morpeth. We saw that they had a lunchtime deal so decided to give it a try. Very glad we did, the food was full of flavour and great value for money, we had hummus and caching to start served with delicious warm Turkish bread, we had 2 grilled lamb dishes for mains which came with rice, salad and super thin bread, dessert was baklava which was outstanding. We'll be back.

We love eating here on the rare occasion we are in town. The owners are so warm and welcoming, the restaurant is beautifully clean and looks fabulous, and the food is absolutely perfect. Our most recent visit was yesterday, for lunch. We decided to have the lunchtime special which is 3 courses for 14.50. Our starters were baba ganoush and hummus with delicious, still-warm, grilled Turkish flat bread. Our main courses were the Ephesus koftes and the chicken shish, both arrived with amazing buttery rice, salad, and two sauces (yoghurt/mint and chill, which was amazing). Dessert was unbelievably yummy pistachio baclava. A lovely filling lunch for a great price. With drinks the bill for two was less than 40. We will definitely continue to visit when we are in Morpeth and I’m already looking forward to it! (Worth mentioning is that the restaurant is opposite a car park with free disc parking and several disabled spaces. So very easy to get to within less than a couple of minutes.)

10/10 Me and my partner visited for a meal tonight and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing, staff were lovely and atmosphere was great. The new owners Serkan and his brothers are fantastic and couldn't have been any more welcoming and friendly. Had time to introduce themselves and chat to us. Looking forward to our next visit ! Thank you
