  If I only had one word to sum up this restaurant then it would be "amazing". The food was unbelievable, the waiters and waitresses were very nice, helpful and looked like they enjoyed their job, and the actual setting of the restaurant was excellent, they've not gone cheap and it shows. I looked at the menu and some things I'd already tried before at other restaurants and some things I'd never heard or had. We ordered two starters, one was something wrapped in bay leaves (if I remember right) and drizzled with lemon juice, I'll be honest I usually don't like veg wrapped in anything like wontons, but all I can say is WOW. To sum it up you won't be disappointed quality restaurant from the tip to the toe, it shows, it tastes and it exuberates on all levels. You won't be disappointed!

  This was hands down the worst experience in a restaurant I've ever had. First when we all sat down and asked for our drinks I was told they have ran out of magners then red wine and then even efes! Starters came out at a reasonable time (but not great) and then had to wait such a long time for our mains! But when it came out mine was cold, my mates steak was well done when asked for medium rare! And the cherry on top was my other mate asked for rice on his dish only to be told when the food was being served they have ran out of RICE! HOW?! When the bill came then there was more drinks added than there should of been. Then when leaving we get told the excuse of them being down to 1 chef. No but you make your customers aware when they first sit down that you are short staffed tonight and you don't have certain items available on the drinks and food menu before you start ordering! Won't be back! Shocking!

  Had a great night in Alev. Staff were nice and friendly. All the food was lovely. There was 16 of us. And one of us never got his main meal. They forgot. So he had to wait. And wasn't impressed when it come. But overall it was a good night. 👍

  Love this restaurant. We had booked a large family gathering pre Christmas and we had a great experience. The service was excellent and the food really tasty and well cooked. Good choices of wines- typically 2 £25 + but really nice.

  I love Turkish food and this is the worse I have ever had. A cheap tomato puree rubbed on each dish and doesn't taste nice either. We ordered rib eye steak, Adaana, and kofte. All had tomato puree on it and not a very nice atmosphere either. Someone living room is converted to a resturant. Dont go here and waste time and money please.
