Positive: from the outside the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and looked nice with the decorations. Negatives: I do not normally give awful ratings but honestly we had a very bad experience. We were recommended by friends but I would not come here again or recommend to others. Overall the food was bland, burnt and overpriced. 1. Atmosphere: where we were sat it was very dark to the point we had to use our phone torch to look at the menu. There were a few tables that did this. I asked for some additional lamps/lights but was ignored by the staff. We could not see what we were eating which is never a good sign. The ambience just wasn’t there due to the beaming blue neon light from the bar. You can see how dark it was as I had to use flash to take a picture of the food. 2. Food: we had the Zara Special Menu Feast. Which involved mixed starters and had the mix meat chicken and lamb). The starter was mediocre which was dips with pitta but the pitta was very thick. The meat was dry and very burnt. The chips were soggy and there was not a lot of flavour.There was a lot of food left on all of our plates. 3. Service: Our drinks were slow and came after our starter. The staff weren’t attentive and ignored our issues. I was originally going to order the bigger platter for two but the waiter said to order separately therefore playing more per person we were a table of 3).

Great little place for an evening meal and catch up with friends. Starters are excellent with the main course also hitting the spot. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Baklava, Starter
