I’ve ordered the Kunefe from this place so many times, and it’s always been amazing! I’ve also tried it at the restaurant, and it’s just as good there too. Definitely a must-try. They also serve a variety of other dishes and desserts that are authentic to Turkey, so it’s worth…

“Peri peri chicken done right, when they nail it. The execution is uneven — some days it's juicy, some days it's dry. Order the wings, trust the medium spice level, and come back when you're lucky.”
