"There have been a few Turkish restaurants open over the past couple of years in Northampton, so we thought it was about time we visited one. We booked a table online for a Saturday evening and had a very warm welcome when we walked in. It was quite busy but we still had a good choice of tables to sit at. The decor was unique and the whole restaurant was clean and tidy. I chose the TAVUK GUVEC CHICKEN CASSEROLE, A traditional slow cooked casserole containing diced cubes of chicken with mushrooms, onion, peppers, cooked in a authentic tomato sauce, served with rice. My wife had the YOGURTLU TAVUK SIS CHICKEN SHISH WITH YOGHURT, diced breast of chicken charcoal grilled on skewers croutons topped with yoghurt, fresh tomato butter sauce, served with rice. The food was freshly cooked, extremely tasty and arrived in ideal time. We didn't have desserts as the mains were very filling and the complimentary breads with dips as a starter and the limoncello after was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly, helpful and you could tell the owner was very proud of what he had achieved. The bill came to £55.55, including the two mains and 2 glasses of wine. Also included was a 10% service charge, which is a personal annoyance of mine when there are only two people dining. Overall I would have given 5 stars, but loses one star for the service charge. We will be back, hopefully then the service charge has been dropped."
