Good cafe where Turkish lunch and breakfast is also served. Was passing by and stopped over for a simple bite. The cafe is in an industrial area, parking is somewhat of a challenge as there were already many cars parked. The food was okay, but they didn't have the items I ordered on their menu. Besides this the staff were very kind and helpful.

Good choice of spread - I went for a hallumi wrap which came with fries. Treated myself to the ferrero roche milkshake on top. Left full, 7 months pregnant- wanna go back and have the filo pastry wraps next time!

Not too bad .Enjoyed the cooked breakfast . Core ingredients were that standard, mediocre quality found too often in average breakfast cafes. Pricing was not clear on the day I went ... apparently in-between menu print runs. No boards displayed at till that I spotted. Unusual not to include the drink in the breakfast which added to final cost. Despite location in a pretty run down industrial estate, the cafe does well with its outside seating and interior.

This is a little unknown slice of heaven. The owners are so lovely, they have chats with you if you want. I would really recommend the hotchoclate, it was frothy chocolatey and overall so much better than every other cafe I’ve ever been to. I also had the burger with chips, the cutlery is polished and looks amazing. The chips taste fresh and are freshly cooked, as well as being crispy. The burger is done with a good sear, fried onions are delicious and the burger bun is crispy but not overly therefore making a lovely burger. I seriously would recommend especially for the cheap prices, this is in London of course!

Lovely staff, delicious food, and a spotless environment with clean tables and chairs. The service was excellent, and the food tasted fresh and light — clearly cooked in clean, good-quality oil, as I didn’t feel heavy afterwards. The Turkish coffee and halal Turkish breakfast were outstanding, easily the best I’ve had in a long time.
