"The Goat soup was great, the tomato one not so much.
The lamb chops were great and so were the pickled beetroot and labneh dish (spicy)."
Mohamed Al-Kooheji
"Great service. Nice food and busy restaurant near to Izmir Marriott and other hotels nearby. Staff friendly and helpful.
Adana Kebab, Tavuk Sote, Chicken with Basil sauce, Kunafa and Cay."

"Based on the amount of good reviews we wandered in. They service is nice but unfortunately we both got sick after eating here. We had the mushroom pasta and şiş tavuk (grilled chicken). We really wanted to like this unfortunately there were too many flies inside to enjoy, i am sure everyone works very hard here but we did not have a good experience"
