Customer feedback is largely positive, praising the 'amazing food,' 'incredible' quality, 'delicious' dishes like Lamb Iskender, and 'great service.' Many highlight the good quality of meat and the reasonable lunch menu. Some minor criticisms include occasional inconsistencies in hospitality for smaller groups, and specific dishes like bread, traditional Turkish salad, and rice being 'meh' or 'old and hard.' The downstairs area can be noisy, with a suggestion to ask for upstairs seating if possible. A notable point is the absence of an automatically added service charge.
