    Ate here last night (22/6/19), a thoroughly enjoyable experience, servers were attentive and…read morecourteous, we weren't harangued into ordering as soon as we had sat down as can sometimes happen, and there was no 'hovering' by staff. They were busy with several large full tables and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I holiday in southwestern Turkey regularly and the food was on a par with restaurants I've eaten in out there, very authentic in taste and presentation, generous sized portions left us feeling very full but comfortably so. It's tastefully decorated which in turn creates a cosy and congenial atmosphere, my only bone of contention was being so warm, I stuck to the seat, but hey ho!. Will definitely go there again, a big hit with my friends and me. well done for bringing a little bit of Turkish delight to Sudbury.

    I can only say that, in the light of the previous review, things have improved markedly recently. I…read morehave been twice and on both occasions food timing was fine and the food excellent. Its roughly Turkish with a few things i have not seen on other menus. Some of the food is delicious the meat cooked with cheese is especially recommended. My only reservation is that its not necessarily cheap - not unreasonable but some of the dishes are a bit pricey. Some kind of lunch menu deal and id be there every week.

    You know there's Greek food and then there's Cypriot Greek food, and let me tell you, the latter is…read morethe absolute one. This spot is authentic. And the best part? It's just a stroll away from my place (not that it matters to you). The starters are great - you've got the choice of cold or warm mezes, calamari, dolmas, all the usual suspects for a Greek place. When it comes to the mains, I highly recommend the sheftalias and pork kebab (sorry Kosher and Halal gang), or go for the mixed grill if you can't decide. They even do really nice fish dishes as well, seabass and salmon are worth a mention. And don't forget to grab some chips - they use the proper Cypriot potatoes. Weekdays are usually quiet, but on weekends it can get busy so it's worth booking ahead. The service is alright, nothing special - but hey, it's Greek, what do you expect? As for parking, it's not amazing - there's a tiny lot across the street and you can park at Cockfosters station.

    If you want authentic Greek food, then this place is an excellent choice. The Meze is good, where…read moreyou get a selection of small plates to share, and includes everything from olives and hummus to kebabs and sheftalia. Their fish courses are very good too, and I can particularly recommend the charcoal grilled octopus - delicious with a feta salad and lots of lemon juice. Portions are big and you won't leave hungry. If you are going with a big group it's best to call ahead and make reservations especially on the weekend. The downside to this place is that it is small and when it is busy, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, and it's loud so it's difficult to have a good conversation. The decor is not my taste, I think it would benefit from looking a little more Mediterranean, but otherwise can't complain.
