"Great spot for authentic Turkish street food. Food was fresh, flavourful and delicious. The staff were really friendly. I tried the barramundi roll, the soggy burgers and the chicken wrap. The barramundi roll was amazing, the fish was cooked to perfection. It was crispy and juicy, the salad and the sauce were amazing, it's a great option if you're looking for something fresh and healthy. Burgers were really soft and juicy. They even give you gloves to wear while eating it because it's covered in garlicky tomato sauce which was phenomenal. Chicken wrap had so much chicken inside and it was seasoned really well. I really enjoyed all of the food and the portion sizes were generous. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to try a different cuisine or any Turkish people missing a taste from home."
