Here's a breakdown of our experience: Appetisers: - Zucchini Cakes and Fried Lamb's Liver: The portions were sizeable, which initially seemed promising. However, the seasonings were rather bland, leaving both dishes lacking in flavor. Main Course: - Doner Kebab: The meat was tough and could best be described as shoe leather. It was also devoid of any seasoning. It seemed like the food was prepared ahead of time and simply reheated before serving. Drinks and Dessert: - We did not order any drinks. - We did have one dessert, but it did not redeem the meal overall. Price: - The total bill came to over a hundred dollars for two people, which is quite steep considering the quality of the food. Overall, the experience was far from satisfactory. The food lacked flavor, and the quality did not match the high price point. I would not recommend this restaurant based on this visit. --- Feel free to adjust or add any additional details as needed.

I was a little disappointed that the inside wasn't more air conditioned, but we still enjoyed our dinner. The staff was very kind as well. It's not a huge place, so if you have a large party, call in advance. Also, please note that they may add the service charge of 18%. We only had 3 people in our party and they did this, which was a surprise. Also, they charge 3% additional if you use a credit card. Again, it was a bit of a surprise.

The eggplant appetizer had a yummy smoked flavor. Everything from the bread to bread pudding was good. Needed a bit more attention from the waiter for refills and such but otherwise no complaints.
