The…read morething that sets it apart is that it is more Turkish than say standard English cafe and that they have women out front with their own area making flatbreads with fillings fresh to order. The cafe was also quite relaxed about me bringing my can of beer in while we ate too. I'm sure people go in to eat other things but it's a street food with a cafe amidst a whole for market outside that makes it nice to see. Reminds me of my local Turkish eats in Green Lanes North London.

This is a great little spot with a cozy environment and a great menu. We had a couple of their pizzas and a few of us had glasses of wine. Everyone was impressed. The service was great. The food came quickly, we weren't rushed even though we were there until just before closing time and the man running the show gave us our space to enjoy instead of upselling us. If I was in the area, I'd come here again. They had a few tables outside and a few inside. We sat inside and it was nice for our group, but I can imagine sitting outside on a nice night here is a perfect way to enjoy a meal in this area. On a Sunday night this area was quiet, so there was no noise or traffic disturbing the experience. I'd confidently recommend it.

We asked for iced coffees, and were served a delicious, creamy, sweet drink that was definitely more indulgent than regular iced coffee, but so tasty. We both also ordered the french toast, because it just sounded SO good and we couldn't resist. The bread was hearty and thick, with plenty of delicious cinnamon and vanilla flavor. It was topped with blueberries, bananas, and of course maple syrup. We opted to add bacon, which added a really great salty element to the otherwise sweet dish. I usually prefer savory breakfasts, but this was perfect! Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby and hungry!

The long table in the back is beautiful but the rest of the restaurant is not especially classy. I wanted a light lunch so I went for the Fig & Olive Salad, hoping that this signature dish would give me the best impression of the restaurant. Technically the salad was lovely but sadly it was cmopletely oversalted. I was with company so I didn't send it back to the kitchen but really I should have. I guess this can happen so I'm not writing this place off for good. I might give them another chance some time.

I ordered the plain hamburger with cheese and the bf had the Henry burger. The flavors on both were excellent but we immediately noticed that the meat was overcooked and dry. It was a shame considering how good the fries were, essentially perfect. Another thing that bothered me is the restaurant is open to the patio, where some customers were smoking while having a meal. It made it unpleasant to have second hand smoking blowing in when trying to have a meal.

I had a mixed meze to start with, which was beautifully presented and just a good size to quell my rumbling stomach; then decided on the swordfish with baby roast potatoes and garnish - a nicely-cooked piece of fish, although not terribly large, simply presented and tasty. I finished off with a slab of halva, which came on a wee chopping board, and of course a Turkish coffee; the latter item getting the prize for the best-presented dish of the evening. It came on a small platter with the cup inside an ornate metal container with lid, and a glass of lemon water and another small glass containing what appeared to be a small rose. Fantastic. The reason I'm only giving three stars is the service. Although things started well and the first two dishes arrived very promptly, the girl serving me seemed to forget about me after that and I waited a good 20 minutes before flagging another server to inquire about dessert. The place was pretty empty when I arrived - most people were sitting outside because of the hot evening - but that's no excuse. Another star comes off for the fug of smoke you have to endure when you walk through the outside tables, which seems to double as a shisha bar - another reason I opted for an inside table.
