This place opened late Summer 2009, and I have been meaning to go for a while. Most nights during the Summer, they had their windows fully open, with Turkish music blasting out- I felt intrigued, rather than enticed. I finally made my way there on Saturday night. It is on the ever popular Westbourne Grove. Food was very good (I had calamari and a mixed grill), but the meat dishes come in much smaller portions compared to some of the other haunts on this street (Alounak still gets top marks there). But I cannot fault the quality. The service and atmosphere warm and friendly- when they forgot to bring the bread for my hummus (which was delicious by the way)- they ran to get it! Beware, a couple of nights a week they have a belly dancer. Since our table was ideally situated in the middle of the restaurant, I had to squirm while she practically danced in my face. The restaurant does not seem to be too busy at the moment- they seem to have offers on their own website and others if you are prepared to go for a menu.

Portions Belly dancing- just weird.
