Great quality, taste and selection. There are lots of variations and platters to choose from that are good for sharing. The grilled meat kababs were all very well seasoned, delicious and nicely presented. The prices are reasonable for a sit-down restaurant with fast service. The portions are also big and the included items are clearly indicated in the menu. The Aryan yogurt was also delicious.

We ordered a Muhammara Pide and a Spinach Pide with cheese for starter; chicken mandi, chicken kebab and shish taouk with naan for our main course, the yogurt drink and kunafa with ashta for the dessert! And one of the person on the table ordered falafel sandwich. Everything on the table was delicious and had perfect blend of spices! The quantity was good! We really enjoyed our food! Thank you 💗
