Came back a few nights later for some late night post-drinking eats, and this place was rockin'. More kebap hit the spot!

Veggies still had their crunch, the meat was a bit on the sweeter side, tender with no crispy edges and the bread was soft with a slight chew. I could have lived without the tomatoes. They had no flavor. SERVICE The staff was friendly and the food was served pretty fast. ATMOSPHERE The restaurant is actually a bit more modern than most doner kebap places in the area.

Nice wine selection as well. Good service, nice atmosphere, great food. A little bit on the pricier side, but good food is worth it!
